John can give advice on any question of law or dispute resolution strategy.  

He is experienced in advising on litigious matters such as:
 - commencing causes of action (including which claims to run and the choice of jurisdiction);
 - potential defences and cross-claims that are available;
 - settlement strategy;
 - case preparation;
 - advising on "prospects of success"
 - what evidence is needed in support of a claim or defence;
 - the best strategy to litigate or to negotiate an outcome to a dispute; and
 - legal costs.

He is also available to give advice on non-litigious matters such as, advising on the effect and operation of a statutory provision or the effect and operation of a clause in a contract or deed.

Much of his advisory work is written, but sometimes it can be given orally, for example, in in-person conference or via a telephone/video conference.
