“Thank you, John, not just because you got me the result I wanted, but for how you did it. Clear advice, fairly priced, delivered frankly and with a compassion that helped hugely, in a difficult situation.” MJ
John has a niche matrimonial finance and divorce practice, he has specialised in this area of law for over 27 years, particularly cases involving businesses.
As a company director himself, his practice extends beyond family law to providing advice, drafting and advocacy in other aspects of law affecting families surrounding matters of company law, director and partnership disputes within the context of ancillary relief proceedings.
His forensic attention to detail matched by his calm bedside manor makes for a formidable counsel to have on your side, particularly when there are complex issues such as a business, foreign property and pension issues arising from divorce.
Experience shows that whilst these situations are never easy, if you get the right expert working on your case from the start – a speedy resolution is achievable, cheaper and is more likely to get the result you want.
As a formidable advocate (twice recommended in the legal 500), John is a fighter for his client, eloquent in delivery and thorough in his preparation, his years of experience also allow him the ability to see when taking a case in front of a Judge is the wrong decision and the right one should be to negotiate early in proceedings.
