As a former small business owner, Ashley has a deep understanding of what it takes to manage and grow a business. She pursued a law degree specifically to help others achieve their business goals.
Her work quickly came to focus on mergers and acquisitions. Creative problem solving, the complex nature of the work and the thrill of seeing clients achieve their goals make M&A a true passion for Ashley. She has completed more than $65B in M&A transactions and represents both private financial and strategic buyers and sellers in a variety of industries, primarily focusing on consumer goods and manufacturing spaces.
Ashley also advises clients from both a legal and business perspective on a wide range of other corporate issues, including commercial contracting, securities regulation, corporate finance and general corporate matters. Clients frequently praise Ashley for her ability to anticipate needs, proactively navigate around potential problems and efficiently handle detail work while always maintaining focus on the big picture.
Ashley is also a firm leader for contracts involving celebrities, athletes and influencers, including sponsorship agreements with Grammy-award winning artists, Emmy-winning actors, and Olympic and other professional athletes. She also frequently works with our education team on Name, Image and Likeness issues involving NCAA players.
One of the most rewarding moments in Ashley’s work is partnering with businesses for a common goal, making every day feel like a win.
