In 2011, Blake Dawson, a leading Australian law firm with offices throughout Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, announced its intention to join forces with Ashurst LLP, a UK-based firm with operations in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East.

In March 2012 Blake Dawson adopted the Ashurst name. The two firms now offer a compelling proposition as a top-tier legal service provider for private and public sector clients worldwide.

To better align the firm’s structure with its strategy and to prepare for international growth, Ashurst Australia realised that its existing organisational model needed to be restructured. Its practices varied in size, with between two and 20 partners in each. With such large disparities in the size of each practice, it was difficult to compare performance, understand which areas of the business were most effective and profitable, and identify opportunities for improvement.

Anvil was the second foreign mining company to start producing in the DRC after the civil conflict. During the past 2 years they produced 16,000+ tonnes of copper in concentrate per year from its HMS plant in Kinsevere. This growth has had its challenges with Anvil having the deck stacked against them in their short existence - having to survive the political instability of a civil war in the DRC (1998-2001), a dramatic fall in the copper price (late 2008), a mining review (2007-2009) and the Global Financial Crisis (2009).

For its first few years Anvil reported, analysed and planned using exclusively Excel spreadsheets. The amount of time required to compile these consolidations and budgets meant that there was no time to focus on what the business needed to do, but rather focusing on what the business was doing.
