Commercial law firm joins the ASTL




Shakespeare Martineau has become the latest firm to join the Association of Short Term Lenders (ASTL) as an associate member.

<
p>The commercial law firm, which was created by the merger of Shakespeares and SGH Martineau in June last year, covers a wide range of financial services and already acts on behalf of 11 short-term lenders, including several ASTL members. 

Richard Ellison, Partner at Shakespeare Martineau, said the firm endeavoured to make a real difference by offering its clients the right solutions based on their individual circumstances and requirements. 
 
“We fully support the association’s drive to raise standards in the short-term lending sector,” said Richard.
 
“We now look forward to building working relationships with members and associate members who we do not know already, as well as supporting the ASTL in achieving its objectives by protecting and promoting the interests of its continually expanding membership.”
 
Benson Hersch, CEO of the ASTL, added: “We aim to give confidence to the public as well as the financial community, businesses and parties that transact with members, and the growing diversity of the membership allows us to continue to develop our offering. 
 
“I am confident that due to its knowledge and experience, Shakespeare Martineau will prove to be a valuable contributor to the association which is continuing to go from strength to strength.”
 
In April 2014, ASTL had 25 members and 12 associate members, and it now consists of 34 members and 24 associate members.
