There is no such special thing about the name ending wirh "& Associates". This is just to mention that the professional is carrying on his profession not as an individual but as firm (not necessary a partnership firm, it may also be a proprietorship firm). Apart from this, many CA's or other professionals use "& Company" to denote the firm status.
