Under his leadership, the team, embedded directly into each practice group, works to identify, evaluate, and implement emerging technologies, automation strategies, and knowledge solutions that improve how legal work is performed and delivered.

John focuses on how artificial intelligence, agentic systems, data intelligence, and workflow automation are reshaping the business and delivery of professional services. Drawing on his experience in law, operations, and technology leadership, he advises clients on information governance, data strategy, AI adoption, and technology-driven risk management. He has extensive experience advising life sciences, pharmaceutical, and health care organizations involved in commercial litigation, mergers and acquisitions, antitrust matters, and government investigations.

Prior to rejoining Mintz in 2016, John led the Boston office of one of the nation's leading legal services firms, where he worked with in-house legal departments and law firms to design efficient and cost-effective legal solutions that combined process improvement, technology, flexible staffing, and operational rigor across a broad range of matters, including litigation, compliance, employment, corporate transactions, and contracts management.

During his initial tenure at Mintz, John was a founding member of the firm's Electronic Discovery Practice Group and an active member of the Product Liability and Complex Tort Litigation Practice Group. He maintained a diverse litigation and counseling practice, serving as national trial, strategy, and discovery counsel for pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies involved in complex litigation and regulatory matters.
