Pros and cons of working at Ashurst
Pros
Investment in graduates who are early on in their careers is fantastic. Partners and senior lawyers are largely willing to mentor and take the time to give graduates opportunities to truly experience what their practice is like.
Being a part of a very supportive work environment, where I feel part of a team and valued as an employee.
Graduate culture and team environment surpasses other top tier firms with the opportunity to get involved with clients from the very beginning.
Strong remuneration Strong culture of junior support and continued learning. The firm puts a lot of time and resources into preparing academies and seminars to ensure graduates are informed and educated on their areas outside of just knowing how to perform the tasks.
The people are wonderful, and the work is of a very high quality. The international aspect is wonderful as it gives you exposure to numerous practice areas and people, as well as plenty of opportunities to work abroad.
Cons
Some of the technology used by the firm is outdated and needs to be modernised
Being an international firm means that sometimes general decisions are made that do not provide the best outcomes locally.
The hours can fluctuate but this is usually market driven.
Hours can sometimes be long, but rarely have they been unreasonable.
Due to the nature of working at a top-tier, high-performing law firm, the hours can be quite long and taxing as well as the balance of life and work commitments.
