The national dispute resolution practice at Ashtons Legal is led by Tom Bailey from Norwich, but has a strong presence outside the city thanks to up-and-coming partner Annabel Mayer in Bury St Edmunds. She is 'strong on the law and very commercially aware' and clients praise her 'willingness to really listen at a difficult time'. The firm is well regarded for its work in franchising litigation, commercial disputes, shareholder disputes, breach of director’s duties and matters arising from corporate transactions.
