Foot Anstey has a great reputation for its collaborative and human approach, which very much appeals to me. I am looking forward to meeting more of the team and getting started.'
Foot Anstey managing partner John Westwell added: 'Ashley's experience will be a great asset to the firm. She is an excellent example of the type of high-calibre lawyer that has powered our organic growth over the last ten years and has been attracted by our culture of support and empowerment for leaders with an ambition for growth.'
The firm has also welcomed Bristol-based managing associate Debbie Asquith into its farm, estates and rural land team, as well as recruitment manager Charlotte Ferguson, based in Exeter.
