He frequently leads and works within multi-disciplinary teams both domestically and internationally, providing an integrated approach to corporate advisory services ranging from stand-alone due diligence engagements to full transaction design and execution.

“John is responsive and has a "can-do" attitude. He is commercial/pragmatic in his approach, achieving a balance between advising on the blackletter law and considering the risk/commercial reality of a situation. This is an excellent attribute and one that will always make me revert to John ahead of others for advice.”
