John Nicholson

Spear’s Review

The affable John Nicholson graduated from Oxford, spent some time in business, joined Manches (now ), qualified as a solicitor and then founded in 2016 with . 

The firm, proudly boutique in mentality, embodies Nicholson’s ‘pragmatic’ approach. Nicholson is not afraid to ‘litigate swiftly’ if needs be, but will ‘always avoid unnecessary resort to the courts if there is an appropriate alternative route to a solution’.

It’s an approach clients appreciate: ‘John is an intelligent, thoughtful and empathetic adviser with a very sensible, realistic and pragmatic approach to every issue or emotional problem,’ says one.

Nicholson’s mediation practice, in which he works with colleague Dr Sara Riley, a trained psychotherapist, aims to provide a ‘safe and experienced’ forum for clients looking to work together.
