Ashtons Legal is 'a firm with a broad range of legal skills that enable it to support business across multiple sectors', and clients praise the fact that the key partners 'understand their business and where they can add value'. Practice head Geoff Hazlewood in Ipswich, who leads the team’s corporate advice to care home owners, sets the example. Newly promoted partner Craig Fiddaman, also based in Ipswich, specialises in share and asset acquisitions and disposals, and takes over the work of retiree Paul Whittingham in advising veterinary practices. The firm also calls upon niche expertise in commercial agency law, franchising, technology and banking.
