Hogan Lovells has recruited Mark Parsons into its Corporate/Commercial team in Hong Kong as a partner with a particular focus on complex commercial transactions and regulatory matters in the TMT sector. Mark is expected to join around the end of January 2014.
Mark was formerly a partner at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in Asia where he led their IP/IT practice and their work in the TMT sector. Within a practice covering a wide range of commercial, regulatory and intellectual property matters, Mark is particularly experienced in the negotiation of multi-jurisdictional outsourcing, technology licensing and distribution agreements, as well as advising on commercial matters in the internet and e-commerce space.

Mark is a highly regarded TMT practitioner and is listed in Chambers as a leading individual, where clients reported “He has a very positive and solution-based approach to problems, and is an excellent technician as well.”
Mark’s hire adds further breadth and depth to Hogan Lovells’ leading global Commercial practice and the well-established multi-disciplinary TMT practice across the Asia region.
Commenting on Mark’s arrival, Peter Watts and Robert Waldman, global Co-Heads of Hogan Lovells’ Commercial practice, said:

Mark’s arrival in our TMT sector team comes shortly after that of LA based media and entertainment partner Sheri Jeffrey who also has a significant Asian component to her practice. This underlines our commitment to further enhance our market leading capability serving the TMT sector in Asia and across our global network. ”
