Gordons expands commercial contracts team as specialism’s growth continues
Wednesday 22nd October 2025
Gordons has expanded its commercial contracts team to seven dedicated specialists following two new hires after increasing its revenues by almost a third (32 per cent) over the past three years.
Lawyer Will Powell joins from Eversheds Sutherland, and paralegal Alesia-Maria Iliescu starts her career with the firm.
The recruitment of Will and Alesia follows this September’s appointment of Tosif Bashir as a newly qualified solicitor in the commercial team. He initially joined Gordons from Sky Bet in 2022 before completing his training contract with the firm.
Before qualifying as a lawyer, Will was a contracts analyst for emerging markets at biotech company, Illumina. Alesia recently graduated from York University with a law degree.
The firm’s commercial contracts clients include kitchen retailer Wren Kitchens; Houseful, the parent company of property website Zoopla; and menswear retailer Moss. The team’s expertise covers general commercial contracts, digital and technology and privacy and data protection.
Gordons partner and head of commercial, Andy Brian, commented: “We’ve grown fast over the past few years, and we want to continue to do so.
“We need more people in the team to help us deliver that growth, and both Will and Alesia have made impressive starts. We’re also delighted that Tosif chose to stay and develop his career with us.
“We’re extremely proud of our client base and grateful for the relationships of trust which enable us to deliver strong financial performance.”
