Ashurst’s emotional roller-coaster
Posted 26/07/2007 by The Daily Diary
Tales among deal lawyers of lost weekends, cancelled holidays and days on end without sleep are far from rare, so it is encouraging to hear that not all City big-shots take things quite so seriously.
But when a firm’s clients include the owner of theme parks such as Alton Towers, it’s probably easier to have fun than if you’re shaving pennies off the tax bill of a multinational conglomerate.
Ashurst partners advising on the recent sale of attractions including Alton Towers and Thorpe Park were treated to free turns on all the roller-coasters with each site visit – a commendable reverse from the City tradition (not adopted at Ashurst, obviously) of a firm taking its clients for a ride.
