John is head of Stephenson Harwood’s Commercial, Outsourcing & Technology practice. He specialises in advising clients on large scale IT, outsourcing and telecomms transactions, on a domestic and international basis. Having spent much of his career in-house in both the IT hardware and IT services industry, John has developed an intuitive understanding of the commercial drivers underpinning the technology industry. The value that he can add to large scale IT transactions is therefore more than purely legal and often extends to strategic and operational issues. Recent work includes the transition of his commodities exchange client from open-outcry to fully electronic trading; a global desktop IT procurement for a major international professional services organisation and the merger of the IT infrastructure of two polish retail banks. Prior to joining Stephenson Harwood John worked in an international accountancy-tied law firm. He has also held positions as General Counsel to Elonex Plc, a major UK PC manufacturer, and as Senior Outsourcing Counsel to Capgemini, the global IT services company.
