My approach

During his pupillage, he assisted with complex civil and family trials worth millions of pounds, so is well versed in all aspects of multi-track trials and civil and family procedures.

John's other practice area includes employment law. John has extensive experience in dealing with claims of unfair dismissal and discrimination. John is regularly instructed to advise on liability and quantum and to draft pleadings in employment and personal injury matters.
