John has lived and worked in London since 1998 and brings more than 25 years of experience in advising private equity sponsors in connection with transactions throughout Europe and North America and in forming pools of capital.

From 2012 to 2017, he worked as the general counsel and director of business development for a private equity backed renewable energy company in California.

“I am delighted to join my friends at at BBA//Fjeldco and help grow their presence in London. I have been paying close attention to the Icelandic business world for a while now and I am fascinated by its energy and ingenuity. Iceland’s geographical location, in between the US and Europe, makes it a prime starting point for investments in the Arctic.” – John Van de North
“John is a great asset for BBA//Fjeldco, he brings expertise and experience that no other firm in Iceland has and will thus strengthen the level of service that BBA//fjeldco can offer its Icelandic and international clients. – Gunnar Thor Thorarinsson, Managing Director of BBA//Fjeldco in London.
BBA//Fjeldco’s international team keeps going from strength to strengh and this addition further confirms us as the first choice as advisors in projects and transactions between Iceland and the UK, as well as other cross-border transactions.
