We're expanding our integrated risk, legal and delivery offering in the cybersecurity space with the hire of cyber expert Julia Spain.
 
Julia is a member of the UK Government Cyber Advisory Board, and has extensive experience advising clients on cyber crisis management, readiness and resilience.

Led by Michael Burns, we've advised OMV on the sale of its 50% stake in Malaysian-headquartered SapuraOMV to TotalEnergies.

We're committed to delivering extraordinary outcomes for clients and empowering our people with new digital capabilities.

We've implemented Jigsaw, a corporate diagramming product, across all 23 of our global offices. The tool empowers teams to visually represent complex legal and commercial information in a clear and accurate manner.

Tara Waters, chief digital officer said: "In some cases, teams found they were saving half the time by using it. Law firms are typically time-poor so intuitive tools are crucial components of effective and efficient client delivery."

Due to the success of our global delivery centres in Glasgow and Brisbane, we're delighted to share that we've opened a third centre in Krakow. 

This addition will enable our legal services innovation division, Ashurst Advance, to offer even more adaptable and powerful services and solutions to our clients.
