Henry J. Ashe
Founding Partner, Corporate
Fifty years at the bar
Henry Ashe is the firm's senior-most partner — fifty years at the bar, and the holder of the Founding Partner chair kept, by tradition, for the counsel who carries the 1948 standard. He built the modern corporate practice: boards, special committees, and family-held enterprises counseled through four decades of crises, transactions, and successions, including the Solent Marine merger, closed as signed at $2.1B.
His drafting rule is quoted inside the firm: write it so it can be read aloud in a deposition without embarrassment.
