Ashi has built a strong reputation for venture capital, private equity and M&A work, and played a key role in building the corporate team at her last firm over the past ten years. During that time, she advised a broad range of clients on high value cross-border M&A transactions, and institutional investors and management teams on prominent regional and national venture capital and private equity deals.
Ashi has particular expertise in the tech, energy and financial services sectors, and has regularly worked with high growth, disruptive businesses looking to reinvent a market or undertake an aggressive consolidation strategy.
She was listed as a Corporate Rising Star across the North of England at the 2024 Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse Awards, and is ranked as a Next Generation Partner by Legal 500. She is also recognised as Up and Coming by Chambers and Partners, for Corporate/M&A in Manchester and the wider Northwest region.
Paul Rajput, Partner and Head of Corporate at Lewis Silkin, said:
“It's a real pleasure to welcome Ashi to our team in Manchester, where she will contribute her valuable expertise and experience to an already growing firm-wide practice.
Her hire not only aligns with the existing international M&A offering of our corporate team as a whole, but also represents the latest success in a drive to boost and widen our corporate offering in the North of England – a drive that is ongoing with more appointments to be announced shortly."
Ashi Amershi, Partner at Lewis Silkin, said:
“I’m delighted to be joining Lewis Silkin's top tier corporate practice, and to be given the opportunity to establish the Lewis Silkin corporate offering in the North.
I have built some great relationships in the thriving professional community across Manchester and beyond and I am excited to continue to put the city of Manchester and the North of England on the map for top tier legal services.
Lewis Silkin gives me the perfect platform to do that, in an environment that is progressive, tech enabled and has DEI principles at the core of its corporate values, evidenced by the firm picking up Diversity, Inclusion and Equality Firm of the Year at the Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse Awards 2025.”
