Ashurst Perkins Coie has announced the appointment of Tom Jaggers as a partner in its London corporate practice. The firm says he joins from Oaktree, where he was a managing director in the European Principal (Private Equity) Group.
Ashurst Perkins Coie says Jaggers brings sponsor-side experience across the structuring and execution of European investments. The announcement frames the appointment as part of the firm’s continued focus on its UK and continental-European private-capital platform.
The official announcement is dated 7 October 2026 but does not provide a publication time. It is therefore a confirmed appointment, while its exact position relative to the prior daily-run cutoff should not be overstated.
Why it matters
This is a named London corporate partner appointment and a firm-specific private-capital capability signal. It is not evidence of a wider partner-move trend or of broader sponsor-market activity.
