Throughout his career at the Bar, John has been involved with all aspects of dangerous occurences and other alleged breaches of regulations of all types. In particular, he has been involved in the interpretation of statutes and statutory instruments throughout his career. He has lectured on a number of such topics, including Health and Safety Law and Consumer Protection law. He has had extensive experience in the Criminal Courts as an advocate in his early years and,more recently, when sitting as a Recorder.

John was a director of a manufacturing company until 1976 and has a valuable appreciation of the practical, as well as the theoretical, problems confronting businesses of all types.

His approach is to identify the best possible outcome for his clients, to explain it to them in language they understand and then assist them to achieve it.
