Ashfords LLP

The ‘extremely knowledgeable’ team at Ashfords LLP harnesses a deep bench of experts to advise leading clients in the South West and is praised for its ’really good levels of experience.’ Stephen Moore heads the firm’s employment practice in Bristol, while Exeter-based Su Apps is highly regarded for a robust M&A, TUPE, restructuring, and outsourcing practice. Kirsty Cooke acts for public and private sector clients in a range of employment and business immigration matters, with notable expertise in the health sector. The Plymouth team was bolstered by the arrival of James Collings in March 2024, formerly a partner at Foot Anstey, who handles complex employee relations matters.
