Profile
John joined Speechly Bircham as a partner in May 2008 from Hughes Fowler Carruthers, where he had been a partner for six years. His initial training was at the bar, at what is now Hare Court, and subsequently at Manches. John specialises in high-level ancillary relief and co-authored Butterworths' guide for practitioners to the new rules for financial applications. His clients include city professionals, international business people and financiers, and those whose finances are bound up with landed estates and family trusts.
John has also developed considerable expertise in dealing with complex children disputes, including those where there are cross-border issues.
Chambers 2009 describes John as having “an extremely charming manner,” and a “refreshing, straight to the point and enthusiastic” approach.
Although John “isn’t afraid to put up a fight” (Chambers 2009), he is also a Resolution trained collaborative lawyer, enabling him to offer a non-litigious option in appropriate cases. He is also a member of the International Bar Association.
John obtained his degree in law from Oxford University.
