Practice Profile
Ashton Bond Gigg is a leading Nottingham based specialist law firm with a reputation for quality service and technical expertise
to clients both nationally and internationally.
For corporate and commercial clients the firm acts either:
- as a fully outsourced legal service in essence forming the equivalent to an in-house legal team, or
- interfaces and supports a client's own in-house legal or management team, or
- carries out transactional, advisory and dispute resolution work on an "as needs" basis.
In the private client field the firm acts primarily for high to very high net worth individuals, trusts and the like.
All of our lawyers are client-focused. Their job is to be a proactive adviser in helping clients formulate solutions
which meet their needs. This philosophy is central to the firm's culture.
The firm prides itself on the close and effective working relationships that it builds with its clients in order to
provide a first class service. We are demanding of ourselves both in our commitment to our clients and in the time
we take with recruitment and training. After all, our people are our main asset and their performance is how the firm
is ultimately judged.
In the legal market place it is unusual to find a firm of our relative compact size dealing with substantial clients
and their complex legal problems. The firm offers, on the one hand, the knowledge and experience needed by major public
and private enterprises and on the other, the ability to give not only them but
the private client personal and prompt attention to their affairs.
Matters are either partner led or partner supervised. Although the Firm's Commercial Services Division covers 6 core
practice groups there are no firm and fixed demarcation lines. This allows for ideas and expertise to be spread across
practice areas.
Our reputation is evidenced by the quality of our corporate, commericial and private client base and by the recognition
we have received over the years from our peers by mention in the Legal 500 publication of the top 500 law practices in
England and Wales. We have been given special mention in the fields of company and commercial law, commercial litigation,
construction law, employment law and insolvency.
Whilst the firm benefits from access to, and use of, leading edge information technology, the size and focus of the firm
together with its low client attrition levels enables it to offer expert advice at a competitive price.
The uncommon combination of expertise, immediacy and competitiveness has helped establish the firm's reputation, and enables
it to maintain its special niche in the law.
