Ashley Hurst

Spear’s Review

Ashley Hurst is a commercial litigator with an international remit at Osborne Clarke, helping clients on media, communications and cyber disputes.

He often works with corporate individuals at the ‘board level’, and relishes working with ‘fast-growth start ups’ and ‘disruptors’. He leads the firm’s Cyber and Contentious Data Protection team, and advises large social media companies on potential litigation and regulatory issues.

He prides himself on distilling down complex problems for clients, who often rely on him for quick advice in the heat of a crisis.
