Cornerstones of the offering at Ashurst include open finance, artificial intelligence, digital platforms and digital assets. Venture capital, seed and early-stage fundraisings are an additional area of strength. Etay Katz, one of five partners who head up the team, is a known name for his central bank digital currency expertise. Technology-led procurements are a practice strength of David Futter‘s, while Bradley Rice is an authority on emerging payments infrastructure, and is equipped to advise on its crypto-focused venture capital strategies. Tara Waters is a leading choice for matters concerning cryptoassets, and Jonathan Cohen is a popular port of call for neo-bank clients. Beyond the leadership team, Jacob Gold frequently leads on investments in technology-enabled financial services businesses. The team was bolstered in September 2024 by the arrival of Fiona Ghosh.
