ASHBOURNE Consulting Group
Who we are

One senior team across finance, law, government and AI.

Ashbourne is an independent advisory firm. We advise governments and investors on capital projects, and help government decide where AI belongs and build it.

We work in emerging markets and frontier jurisdictions, where most decisions turn on finance, law and government at the same time.

Senior Partner-led. Sector-deep. Jurisdiction-specific.

What we bring together

Four disciplines in one team.

Most advisers cover one of these and hand the rest to others. We hold all four in one team. The financing case, the legal pathway, the government process and any supporting system are then designed to fit together.

01 · Finance

What a lender will accept.

Project finance, debt and equity structuring, and financial modelling, tested against the terms lenders and investors actually apply.

Applied in the PPR and our advisory practice

02 · Law and regulation

What the law permits.

Statutory analysis, licensing and regulatory pathways. We check each provision against the primary source and quote it, rather than paraphrase it.

Applied in all three practices

03 · Government

How decisions are made.

Experience working with ministers, provincial governments and statutory authorities, and an understanding of what each step in government requires.

Applied in all three practices

04 · AI and systems

What can be automated.

Design and build of AI systems for statutory processes, connected to the platforms a department or agency already uses.

How we work with others

A senior team, with the right expertise around it.

Senior partners lead every engagement, and we bring in established firms and specialists where the work needs them.

Big Four firms

Our partners act as sub-advisers to a number of Big Four firms on government and technology-related engagements.

Legal counsel

Our team includes law firm partners and senior lawyers, who advise on agreements and legal due diligence.

Government

We have working relationships across provincial and national government in the jurisdictions where we work.

Specialists

Where an engagement needs engineering, environmental or sector expertise, we bring in specialists and direct their work.

How we hold ourselves

Independent, confidential and accountable.

01 · Independence

No lender, capital source or vendor ties.

We do not place debt or resell technology. We recommend what fits the client, not what suits a relationship.

02 · Confidentiality

Client work stays confidential.

Most of our work is for government. We do not name clients or publish case studies without their consent.

03 · Integrity

Clear commitments on conduct.

Our engagement terms include anti-bribery and conflict-of-interest commitments, and cooperation with public audit.

04 · Accountability

A partner signs off.

A partner leads every engagement and signs off every deliverable before it reaches the client.
