Expertise
John is frequently described as the ‘architect’ of the Stewarts business model. His experience (over 30 years) of dealing with a wide range of complex civil disputes has informed the firm’s choice of specialist litigation areas and supported the promotion and growth of the firm.
Although not now an active fee earner, John is Chairman of the Risk and Funding Committee. This committee decides whether or not to accept instructions on a case if it is to be funded on a contingent or conditional fee basis. Correct litigation risk assessment at the outset has been and will continue to be a key component of the firm’s success. John is also keen to ensure that individual practice areas are supported by a system of clear and effective management.
Recognition
The firm has received many awards over the years that recognise its litigation specialism as well as its competency in management. In 2018, Stewarts was again recognised by The Sunday Times as one of the 100 Best Companies To Work For in the UK.
Experience
In the past 10 years, John has spearheaded the launch of the firm’s Divorce and Family, Aviation and Travel, International Injury, Commercial Litigation, Employment, Competition Litigation, International Arbitration, Tax Litigation, Trust and Probate Litigation, and Financial Crime departments.
