We welcome respected commercial lawyer Jonathan Askin who has recently joined Thomson Snell & Passmore as a Partner, to head up its commercial law offering. Jonathan joins us from nationwide firm Knights plc, where he led the commercial team.
Jonathan is well known for taking a commercial and pragmatic approach on business matters and contracts for clients across a wide spectrum of sectors. Jonathan has recently advised Europe’s leading airline, an international manufacturer, the UK’s leading fast-food restaurant, a world-wide IT solutions business, and an international hotel group on a wide range of contracts and matters such as data protection and IP. Jonathan also advised a large overseas company on its multi-million manufacturing agreement with the Department of Health during lockdown to ensure PPE was available to the NHS.
Jonathan’s work in relation to cross-border outsourcing and trade of goods and services leading up to ‘Brexit’ led to him being recognised by the legal directories and being named Lawyer Monthly’s ‘Commercial Lawyer of the Year 2019’ whilst holding the position of National Head of Commercial Law for leading international insurance law firm BLM.
Jonathan will work closely with colleagues across the commercial group, including the Employment team, and is a key part of ongoing growth plans for Thomson Snell & Passmore.
