Since 1999, John's ability to provide real world legal advice and practical insights into complex matters has often been invaluable to me. Amongst his many strengths, it has been my experience that he particularly excels when matters are complex and cross or interface between commercial and public sector or not for profit worlds. John's ability to bring the commercial legal thinking and advice to public sector and not for profit clients has been outstanding. Equally I have worked with him as a commercial client where his advice on dealing with the public sector issues across multiple levels of Government has been invaluable.
