Jason Lysandrides | Principal Counsel

Experience

Jason is a senior commercial and intellectual property lawyer with over 20 years of experience and a track record of managing £1B+ in aggregate deal values. As the founder of Kinshi Lodelaw, he provides strategic guidance for innovative businesses, offering the high-level oversight of a General Counsel through a modern, fixed-fee consultancy model.

His experience is forged in both private practice and in-house roles. He previously served as Head of Legal and a member of the senior leadership team for a UK-based software technology firm (part of the Zalando SE group). In this role, he led the company’s commercial and SaaS contract strategies across EMEA, APAC, and the US, providing the legal, commercial, and IP infrastructure that supported the company’s growth and successful sale to a leading European PLC.

Prior to his in-house career, Jason was a Partner at a UK Legal200 law firm, where he led the Intellectual Property practice. In this capacity, he specialised in the assessment and protection of new technology and innovation, the exploitation of intellectual property assets, and the strategic management of IP portfolios for a wide range of business clients.

With a focus on the ethics and regulation of emerging technology, Jason has completed the Oxford Saïd Business School programme in AI Ethics, Compliance, and Regulation and is currently a participant in the University of Oxford LawTech Education Programme (AI University Foundations). He bridges the gap between traditional legal frameworks and the future of algorithmic accountability to support firms in navigating the evolving landscape of AI governance.

Jason has been recognised as a Leading Lawyer by the Legal500 and has been described by clients as “razor sharp” and “plain talking.” At Kinshi Lodelaw, he applies over 55,000 hours of legal experience to a single goal: cutting through noise to protect what counts.


The Fixed-Fee Rationale: Alignment, Not Accounting

At Kinshi Lodelaw, we have discarded the billable hour in favor of Value Certainty.

Traditional legal billing can create a fundamental misalignment: it rewards time spent rather than results achieved. We believe premium legal counsel support growth with clarity and predictability. By moving to a fixed-fee and subscription-based model, we provide:

  • Total Transparency: No “ticking clock” and no hidden increments. You receive high-level expertise with 100% budget predictability.

  • Frictionless Collaboration: We encourage proactive communication. Our clients can consult us at the inception of a project knowing the cost is already agreed – preventing small hurdles from becoming costly problems.

  • Strategic Focus: By removing the administrative burden of hourly billing, we focus entirely on the quality of the strategy and the efficiency of the outcome.

Mastery is quiet. Results are clear. Fees are fixed.

I know from all of us how grateful we are to have someone of Jason's calibre to support our clients... Some of the feedback given include: "Amazing advice", "Always supportive", "Wouldn't use anyone else"
