John read PPE at Oxford University and after passing the Common Professional Examination and Solictors Finals, was articled to Houghton Craven and Dickson, where he qualified as a solicitor in 1985. He became a Partner in the firm in 1989, shortly before the merger which ultimately created Napthens.

John is the head of the Commercial and Civil litigation team and he now specialises in resolving Company/Commercial and Landlord & Tenant Disputes.
