Get in touch

James is a Senior Commercial Property Solicitor in the Dispute Resolution team. James qualified in 2012 and has, for the majority of the time since, specialised in property related disputes. Previously James was at top 100 firm Hugh James, where he was Head of Property Litigation.  

James has worked for central and local government bodies, national house builders and banks, as well as commercial landlords and tenants. James advises on issues including landlord and tenant matters, as well as a variety of property rights such as boundaries and rights of way. He also has expertise in niche areas, such as the ownership of subterranean minerals. 

He is adept at understanding both the legal issues at hand and the commercial context in which they arise.  

Much of the work I undertake is not aimed at litigating a matter, but rather how to avoid litigation where possible. Achieving the best outcome for my clients is my focus at all times

Outside of work, James enjoys sailing, windsurfing, golf and tennis.
