Read more Testimonials "As a projects lawyer at Ashurst, I get to work on the most complex and city-shaping projects. I find it satisfying seeing my work turns into roads, metro stations, hospitals, airports, wind and solar farms, etc that get used by and benefit our communities. Lawyers in our team get "stretched" if they are willing, while senior lawyers are hands-on and will proactively make sure junior lawyers get enough guidance and support. Our people are down to earth, genuine and practical. While we take our work very seriously, we don't take ourselves too seriously. Hearing laughter from desks away is a constant occurance, and we work to create a relaxed and collegiate environment that promotes collaboration between colleagues and across offices." Peitian Xia - Senior Associate, Projects & Energy Transition, Sydney "Since beginning my career I have worked in a number of different jurisdictions throughout Asia Pacific, which has taught me to appreciate the importance of working within a cohesive global team, particularly within my specific area of practice, international arbitration. Working at Ashurst offers precisely that. Since joining the firm in May 2022, I have had the opportunity to work with colleagues across various offices on multi-jurisdictional matters, and effectively split my time between Singapore and Hong Kong. There is a true collaborative culture, where the best idea always wins, and where everyone works together to win the most interesting work and deliver the best results for our clients."
