A London
firm of unusual
conviction.
For one hundred and thirty years Ashcombe & Hale has acted for those who must not afford to lose. Corporate, contentious and private client counsel, delivered with the discretion the work requires.
Six disciplines.
One standard.
Each of our practice groups is led by a partner who could lead the practice anywhere. The result is a firm with the breadth of a City practice and the focus of a boutique.
Corporate & M&A
Cross-border acquisitions, equity capital markets, joint ventures and complex restructurings for listed and private clients.
Commercial Litigation
High-value commercial, banking and fraud disputes before the Commercial Court and international tribunals.
Real Estate
Acquisition, development and investment for City schemes, hotels, residential portfolios and mixed-use estates.
Private Client
Discreet counsel for private individuals, trustees and family offices on succession, residency and bespoke structuring.
Employment
Boardroom advice, partnership disputes, regulated-sector exits and complex tribunal claims.
Regulatory
FCA, SRA and competition matters — investigations, enforcement and risk advisory across regulated industries.
Counsel you can name.
Our partners do the work themselves. Every engagement is led by a named partner from start to finish — no exceptions, no handovers.
Founded in 1894.
Built for now.
Three generations of the Ashcombe family practised at Lincoln's Inn before the firm took its modern name. What has not changed is the standard: to be the firm clients trust with the matters that cannot afford to go wrong.
