Speakers:

Jason’s job is to efficiently allocate the Service’s resources to the many demands on its expertise, to lead in terms of the Service’s front line work, and to contribute to the development of its strategy.

In 1994 he became a lecturer in law, specialising in European law, consumer law, and then IT law, and his ten years’ experience in higher education included a stint as head of department. In 2004, he moved on to join JISC Legal, and has been assisting the further and higher education sectors in his current role since. In 2008, he added an LL.M. in IT and Telecoms Law from Strathclyde University to his qualifications.
