James Popperwell is head of fraud and is highly skilled at managing substantial civil fraud proceedings in the UK and internationally.

James is a market-leading litigator for fraud and asset recovery matters. He's very smooth, very calm, and knows the case and strategy very well. He can stay on top of all the input.

James leads from the front and is a spectacular leader. He commands the confidence of his clients and wields his team's extensive resources with alacrity.

James, in my view, is at the top of the game for this area of work. He is the complete package here. He is intelligent and strategic with personal skills to boot.
