Jason has a varied commercial litigation practice which includes data protection, privilege, state immunity, conflicts of laws, crypto-assets, group litigation, the legal implications of Brexit and English contract law.

A while back, Jason was seconded to BT. This experience still serves as a vivid reminder of what it is like in-house.

He is the UK delegation expert to the European private law committee of the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE). He has participated in several working committees of the Financial Markets Law Committee covering a variety of topics: Distributed Ledger Technology and Governing Law: Issues of Legal Uncertainty (2018), Response: Law Commission Call for Evidence on Digital Assets (2021) and Good Faith and Financial Contracts (ongoing).

In 2016, he set up Compact Contract (www.aocompactcontract.com) a blog focused on English contract law. He sits on A&O's litigation taskforce and its future disputes group.
