He moved to global law firm Linklaters, in 2006, where he continued to build his expertise by working on large cross-border disputes including managing a cross-border investigation into a major bank based in the UK. From 2010 to 2013, John served as in-house counsel for UBS Investment Bank where he manages a variety of commercial disputes and co-headed the investment bank legal’s internal investigation unit.
John is very active in public service and charitable organizations. In 2010, he was honored alongside Caroline Kennedy by the City of New York.

He has consistently been named to the “Irish-Legal 100” since 2009 and was recognized as a “Top-40-Under-40” in 2007.
