John specialises in final account preparation, claims management, dispute avoidance and dispute resolution. He is regularly appointed to prepare or independently assess claims for disruption and prolongation.

John has significant experience in the preparation of expert reports and has been engaged as single and joint party-appointed expert by instructing solicitors to produce expert witness reports on quantum matters in UK litigation, arbitration and adjudication. He is a practising member of the Academy of Experts, a fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

John is highly regarded by his clients, one of whom refers to his ability as being "significantly beyond his age”, adding: “He always approaches his work calmly, with maturity and confidence, without being arrogant or pompous. I consider this differentiates him from many other experts. I personally have not instructed any other expert consistently in the way I instruct John."
