Ashurst moves towards greater alignment in Oz but denies partner cuts

Comment

While Ashurst London is claimed to be chasing the magic circle, I agree with the first commentator that the firm's global image is definitely third tier. With the exception of Paris, the offices in continental Europe are performing weak and cannot really attract top legal talent. The firm's image in the US and the development and performance of its offices in New York and D.C. are disastrous. Ashurst is lightyears away from an "elite global firm" unless they sneak in through the backdoor by merging with a strong US player. I keep my fingers crossed for my friends at Blakes that Ashurst will not pull the exit option if a US merger comes in sight.
