About me
Ashley is down to earth, approachable and connects well with lay clients who are often appearing in court for the first time. Part of her customer service offering is being responsive and providing advice that is straight to the point.

In addition, she won the Baron Dr Ver Heyden de Lancey Prize as the best Middle Temple student on the BPTC at her centre.

What my clients say
Recommendations
“It has been great to co work with Ashley on a very complex and contentious case. I cannot recommend her enough for her
technical knowledge and skill. I was even more impressed with Ashley’s attitude to the case and that she was just as
passionate, as I am, in order to get the best result for my client. My client and I felt the case was safe in her hands and I will
definitely be briefing her again in the near future.”
Richard Port MBE, George Green LLP
“Thanks very much for the advice. Please pass on my thanks to counsel – prompt, straight to the point, clear and
professionally done.”
Oxfordshire Solicitor
"I do not have Ashley’s contact details, but could you express my thanks to her? I did so after the court hearing, but she did so
well and was so friendly beforehand when we discussed the relevant details that I would like again to express my appreciation
of her work."
Client
“A quick message to say thank you again for your thorough preparation and representation today. Count on getting
instructions again. I find you listen to explanations, take on board background information, and good to get along with.”
Bruce Turner, Chapman & Chubb
“I really enjoyed working with you last week - you are clearly skilled in achieving that necessary balance between legal
argument and pragmatism. I hope we’ll have another opportunity before too long.”
