Meet our Co-Founder

When you meet Duncan, one of the co-founders of Aston Bond, you quickly realise two things:

1. He’s been in the legal game long enough to know just about everything there is to know about corporate law.
2. He’s the kind of lawyer you actually want to chat with over a coffee (yes, he’s that approachable).

Duncan helped launch Aston Bond back in 2004, and nearly 30 years of legal experience has given him the kind of expertise that makes clients feel instantly reassured. From the boardroom to the negotiation table, Duncan has done it all. Whether it’s business acquisitions, share sales, management buy-ins, or even the tricky world of distressed businesses and pre-pack sales, Duncan is the guy you want on your side.

And if you think that’s impressive, wait until you hear this: Duncan is also the go-to expert for the buying and selling of care homes—something that requires not just legal sharpness but also a strong sense of responsibility and empathy.

Over the years, Duncan has worked with everyone from small local businesses to large companies with national and international reach. He has this rare ability to cut through the noise, simplify the complex, and guide clients toward the right solution. (Basically, he’s like the GPS of corporate law.)

When he’s not busy shaping deals and advising companies, Duncan is also known for his straight-talking, friendly manner. He’s approachable, practical, and committed—no intimidating jargon, no unnecessary fuss, just solid advice from someone who’s been there, done that, and negotiated the shareholder agreement.

At Aston Bond, Duncan isn’t just a lawyer; he’s a cornerstone of the firm’s ethos: approachable, effective, and genuinely invested in the success of clients. After all, co-founding a law firm isn’t just about legal know-how—it’s about vision, and Duncan has that in spades.

So, if you ever find yourself needing expert advice in the corporate world—or just want to swap stories with someone who’s seen it all—Duncan is your guy.
