John is Chair of Life Sciences at Lewis Brisbois. He regularly associates in the defense of high exposure cases for excess insurers. In this capacity, he is often brought in as a consultant tasked with: developing an understanding of the key medical/scientific issues; identifying and retaining preeminent authorities; and, formulating the defense strategy. In addition he serves as national counsel in mass tort cases. In the past he has coordinated the defense of hundreds of claims on behalf of: a weight loss company; a medical device manufacturer of bone screws: and, a processor of human bone allografts. John and his team currently serve as national coordinating counsel both for a dental management company with affiliated clinics located throughout the U.S., and, for hospitals and clinics in matters related to fungal meningitis arising from steroid injections.

In 2008, he presented a new theory associated with bone tissue infectivity before the 5th World Congress on Tissue Banking in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His expertise in the area of viral disease transmission resulted in an invitation from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to join their biohazards committee. He became a member of an august group of twelve scientists and doctors from around the world, who convened in Vienna, Austria in 2010. The committee developed protocols designed to address the remediation of materials contaminated with lethal pathogens for the member states of the United Nations.

In 2011, John published an article in the European medical journal, Cell and Tissue Banking. It presented new theories in regard to the transmission of AIDS and hepatitis. His conclusions were counter to what the medical and scientific communities had believed to be true for the past sixty years. However, his new theories are gaining traction. They have been cited as authoritative by doctors and scientists in the US, Spain, China, Turkey, Italy, Denmark, Sweden, Brazil, Germany and England. In July, 2015, a new book on the topic of tissue banking was released containing a chapter he authored on these viral disease transmission topics.
