What a week! It has been great seeing the excitement across our global platform since we announced our intention to combine and become Ashurst Perkins Coie. The photos from across our offices, as teams came together to celebrate and share stories, stand as a reminder of what makes both our firms special. I know that as our Ashurst people get to know people at Perkins Coie, they will see what we have always seen: shared values, a mirrored history of delivering for our clients and commitment to supporting our people. It’s a strong foundation for everything ahead. A huge thank you to everyone for your enthusiasm, hard work, and the way you’ve embraced the prospect of this next chapter. And another thank you to everyone who has reached out to celebrate the news. This is very much a firmwide effort, and it’s been great to see the sense of excitement from our people and our clients.

It's been a whirlwind few days here in New York with more coffee than sleep, with our announcement earlier in the week of our intention to combine with Perkins Coie to form Ashurst Perkins Coie. The buzz, the sense of momentum and the confidence about what this means for our future have been remarkable! From internal town halls – with nearly 3000 of our people joining around the world – to conversations across the firm and with clients, the interest and support we've received has been hugely positive. During what has been a very busy week, I also joined our New York team for a town hall, and visited Perkins Coie’s offices for celebratory drinks. My thanks to the Office Managing Partners – Ashurst's Sharon Kim and Perkins Coie's Ronald Sarubbi – and their teams for their hospitality and support at this exciting moment for our two firms. Ashurst Perkins Coie will bring together 3,000 lawyers across 52 offices in 23 countries, a shared commitment to innovation, including in AI, and a truly differentiated global law firm in the industries shaping the future economy. More to come, but for now, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible. And thank you to Kaye Wiggins and the Financial Times for covering this milestone moment for Ashurst - read it here: https://lnkd.in/gx7vM28M #AshurstPerkinsCoie #OutpacingChange #Ashurst Karen Davies

Following the announcement of our intended combination with Perkins Coie to form Ashurst Perkins Coie, our focus stays firmly on practical, secure and high-impact innovation. Here’s how we’re already putting AI to work for our clients.

Truly excited to share this news today as we announce our intentions to combine with Perkins Coie to create Ashurst Perkins Coie, marking a significant milestone and an exciting moment for our people and our clients. As clients face more complex, global issues, the demand for truly integrated legal solutions has never been greater. Uniting with Perkins Coie positions us to meet this demand head-on. Bringing Ashurst together with Perkins Coie positions us to deepen the support we provide across the sectors where we are strongest - technology, energy & infrastructure, and financial services. At the heart of this combination are our people. In Perkins Coie we see likeminded colleagues who are proud of their history and who share our values and collaborative culture. Like us, they have a strong client base, and together we are a brilliant combination. This is a once in a generation opportunity, and a testament to the incredible work and commitment of everyone at Ashurst.

Today is a significant day at Ashurst as we announce our intention to combine with Perkins Coie – an exceptional U.S. law firm, to form a top 20 global firm – Ashurst Perkins Coie. With 6,500 people in 52 offices, across 23 countries, Ashurst Perkins Coie will reflect Ashurst’s global presence and deep sector expertise in energy & infrastructure and financial services, as well as Perkins Coie’s leading technology sector capability. We have long sought to expand our footprint in the U.S. – to find a partner who shares our collaborative culture and entrepreneurial spirit, and with a relentless focus on clients, has always been key. Perkins Coie is exactly that: a forward-thinking law firm meeting its clients at the forefront of technological change, and deep, trusted expertise that complements our own. Like us, Perkins Coie has been at the frontier of integrating AI within the legal sector, and as a combined firm, we will build further on this to seek to transform the practice of law and help clients harness AI effectively to accelerate their growth. I am incredibly excited about the opportunities that this combination will bring to our people and clients, and the creation of what will be a truly differentiated global law firm in the industries shaping the future economy.
