L.A. LAW - U.K.-based Ashurst has opened an office in Los Angeles, its third location in the U.S. and its first on the West Coast. Rose Walker reports that the new office will focus predominantly on projects and project finance work in infrastructure. Leading the new location in Santa Monica is partner Anna Hermelin, who previously worked in the firm’s Tokyo office and who is joined by three California lawyers. The firm said seven to 10 lawyers will work from that location within a year. The California office is Ashurst’s 28th globally, and its other U.S. offices are in New York and Washington, D.C.
