Position
John has a well-respected commercial Chancery practice, specialising in pensions, trusts, commercial litigation, professional negligence and trusts. Pension and trust work is his particular forte, especially cases involving complex financial issues and analyses. He has been involved in some of the leading cases in the pensions arena and advised the government directly and through many of it departments. He is regularly mentioned in this area in the legal directories. 2004 was no exception with ‘The Legal 500’ recommending him and ‘Chambers 2004/05’ stating that he ‘stands out in the market for his expertise in pension funds and international trusts’ and also that ‘solicitors commend his practical opinions and advocacy skills’. He has also acted as advocate and adviser in a significant number of private trust cases, generally offshore (for example, in the Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, Switzerland and Liechtenstein). This has given him an in-depth knowledge of shipping, finance and financial analysis.
