For over 30 years, John has been an integral part of Whitelaw
Twining’s general insurance litigation practice. He has a wealth of
experience at all levels of the British Columbia court system in
virtually all areas of practice be it property, bodily injury,
construction, or professional liability related disputes. As counsel,
he leads strategies for clients dealing with casualty, construction
and surety claims.
John practices as appellate counsel and as a mediator and
continues to provide advice to our surety clients. John has mediated
a variety of legal disputes including moderate to catastrophic bodily
injury claims, insurance coverage disputes, construction, real estate
and professional liability claims as well as landlord tenant
disputes.
John brings a pragmatic approach to solving problems. He will work
relentlessly to resolve disputes at mediation and when required will
continue to do so post mediation. He is tenacious, direct and
effective.
When not mediating, John enjoys jogging—he’s run six marathons
and an ultramarathon. You’ll find him on the slopes in the winter
and hitting the golf course in the summer.
