Develop your expertise and shape what comes next
We’re creating the next generation of commercial legal advisory services – together. At Ascente, you can sharpen your expertise, influence how we work and help both our clients and our firm move forward. We combine ambition with a high degree of trust. You’ll have the opportunity to apply all of your expertise, broaden your horizons and make a difference in the cases that matter most to our clients, while continuing to develop in your role with us.
Being part of AGRD Partners makes Ascente even stronger, through shared technology initiatives, a broader professional network and long-term investment. Together, we are advancing both the practice of law and the technology shaping the next generation of legal advice.
Complex matters requiring expertise and commercial insight
Our clients are corporates, entrepreneurs, organisations and investors facing complex legal issues, business-critical decisions and changing markets. They turn to us for legal acumen, commercial insight and advisers who consider the bigger picture.
This makes for sophisticated mandates in which experience, judgement and strategic thinking have a tangible impact. You will work closely with clients, develop a deep understanding of their operations and provide advice that goes beyond just addressing the legal issues, helping them seize opportunities and take their businesses forward.
One team – a new standard for legal advice
The future of commercial law isn’t just being shaped by legal advisers; it’s also being crafted by people with different areas of expertise developing new solutions together. At Ascente, you will work alongside experienced lawyers and specialists who share your ambition to deliver work of the highest quality. We share knowledge, inspire and support one another, and bring together different perspectives to create better solutions.
Our experienced business services professionals are an integral part of the firm. Expertise in areas such as case management, finance, marketing, business development and legal tech ensures our work is well organised, of high quality and always improving. By applying the right expertise at the right time, we work smarter and deliver even greater value for our clients.
Progressive
We take a proactive and entrepreneurial approach, anticipating what lies ahead and shaping next-generation legal advisory to create value for our clients.
Reasoned
Our advice is grounded in deep expertise, rigorous analysis and professional judgement. We take responsibility for delivering the highest quality and act with integrity in every decision.
Unpretentious
We listen, share knowledge and welcome different perspectives. The best solution matters more than title or position, and we achieve more by working as one team.
Committed
We take a genuine interest in our clients, our work and one another. We remain curious, consider the bigger picture and follow through on our commitments.
Life at Ascente – a culture to thrive in
At Ascente, you have more than just a role to fulfil. You have the opportunity to influence client cases, working practices, our firm’s culture and its future direction. We believe responsibility and influence lead to engagement; people grow when their expertise is genuinely put to good use.
We are always interested in hearing from experienced lawyers, advisers and business services professionals who share our ambition and values. If you are looking for an intellectually stimulating and supportive professional environment where you can continue developing while helping shape the next generation of commercial legal advice, we’d love to hear from you.
Legal expertise enhanced by technology
Advice of the highest quality is built on legal excellence, professional judgement and constantly refining our skills. At the same time, we are at the forefront of integrating AI, legal tech and new ways of working into our advice. We are investing for the long term in technology that strengthens analysis, enhances quality and gives our experts more time to focus on what clients value most: reasoned judgement and strategic thinking.
The result is more proactive and sophisticated advice, delivered with greater speed and commercial insight to help our clients progress in a rapidly changing world.
Join us – we want to get to know you
Ascente’s legal advisers and business services professionals work together on complex cases, often for long-standing clients. You will get the chance to use all of your expertise, increase your specialist knowledge and influence how we work and develop.
We are looking for ambitious individuals who offer new perspectives and want to make a difference – for our clients, for one another and for a new era of commercial legal advice. Together, we are shaping the next generation of legal advisory and moving the industry forward.
“Our culture combines high professional standards with respect, enjoyment of our work and a team spirit. We listen to one another and value the strongest argument over title or position. This improves both our decisions and the advice we provide.”

Head of People and Culture
