But employees don`t even have to look that far to see Ashurst`s inclusivity – our survey ranks the company second in terms of representation of female partners in its U.S. practice. In 2008, the firm selected Charlie Geffen, a partner, to succeed Green as a senior partner following an election against experienced litigator Ed Sparrow. The credit turbulence that gripped the financial markets in the summer of 2007 and became a full-fledged banking crisis and recession the following year had a significant impact on Ashurst`s core competencies. Profits went down and sales went down. But the company quickly got out of trouble and the numbers started to rise again.

Compared to its domestic rivals, Ashurst hires only a few selected employees each year to join its U.S. ranks, mostly in New York, although Los Angeles is also an option. This intimate facility was ideal for our interlocutors: “The general mood and attitude are not as intense as those of other major New York law firms,” confirmed a junior who also appreciated the fact that smaller teams meant more work. With gross sales of $912,142,000 in 2020, the firm ranked 61st in the 2021 Global 200 ranking. Ashurst has 1512 lawyers and the firm ranked 12th in the 2020 UK 100 ranking. At the global loan level, juniors work on the U.S. side of loan agreements, usually from the company`s international offices.
