Posted 22/10/2014

Ashtons Legal is pleased to announce that The Cambridge Building Society has appointed the firm to be its preferred legal supplier in a partnership announced today.

Both businesses have strong foundations in the region with a range of branches, offices near each other on Newmarket Road in Cambridge, and a shared commitment to providing high quality services for people in the area.

Ed O’Rourke, CEO and Partner at Ashtons Legal said: “I am delighted The Cambridge Building Society has chosen to work with us again.  We have been providing them with legal assistance for many years so already have a solid working relationship with Stephen, Jon and the team there.”

He adds: “The Cambridge Building Society shares the same values and ethos as Ashtons Legal – we understand their needs and the needs of their customers.”

Cambridge Building Society’s Lending Manager, Peter Dockerill, led the process to appoint Ashtons Legal and says: “I am delighted we will work alongside such a well respected and proven law firm.  We expect the pace of change to continue to accelerate in the industry with particular focus on changes in the market environment, consumer expectations, regulation and technological advances.  It’s vital that we have a partner in Ashtons Legal who we know will provide quality legal advice protecting both The Cambridge and our members.”

He adds: “As an organisation with strong links to the community, to have our legal firm just down the road is rather fitting.  We are pleased they offer a level of professionalism and efficiency that mirrors our own and are confident they will provide the best support to help us give our customers the best service.”
