John has been a member of the LSLA throughout his legal career, during which time he has played a key role in ensuring the views of the organisation are represented at the highest level.

John commented: ‘I am delighted to take over the role of president of the LSLA. London is a world-class centre for dispute resolution and is the venue of choice for international litigation. As president, I am keen to do whatever I can to maintain London’s key place at the centre of international and domestic dispute resolution.  

‘Francesca Kaye has has overseen some fundamental changes in the association and I hope to be able to build on both her and the LSLA’s success.’
