Ashford and Merritt operates offices in multiple countries. Information submitted through this website may be routed to and stored in any of our offices for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. Where applicable law requires, we implement standard contractual clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms for cross-border data transfers.
