John Thornton – 1GC | Family Law  ‘John is a silk in waiting; over the years his talent as a barrister has grown and matured, he is exceptional at advocacy and is a master at cross-examination, but a kind and caring barrister when cross-examining clients and can carefully tease out information from them in a direct and sensitive way. John is very good with vulnerable clients and listens to them and provides robust and thought provoking advice.’
