James has worked for central and local government bodies, national house builders and banks, as well as commercial landlords and tenants.

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
