Since the demerger with Bevan Brittan, South West firm Ashfords has expanded its partnership. With five promotions, 2006-07 saw the firm inch back towards to levels similar to 2004-05, when nine were promoted to the partnership. In 2005-06 the personal injury practice was the focus for internal promotions, but in 2006-07 Ashfords’ corporate and public sector teams saw their first promotions for several years.
