Band 4
Individual Editorial

James McKean's practice focuses on contentious trust and estate matters. His cases include disputed wills, contested estate administrations and Inheritance Act claims.

Strengths

James is superb. He is easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable in contentious probate matters in particular, and has huge amounts of trial experience.

We have been very impressed with James overall. He is great with clients and opponents alike. He is very approachable and a safe pair of hands.

James is a great all-rounder. He is wonderful with clients and provides good value for money, with a good sense of humour to boot.

James gives a good level of service; he is friendly and accessible in his advice. He has successfully represented us in many applications and hearings. He is also very willing to assist and provide guidance in ad hoc queries, which is appreciated. He is excellent at viewing the big picture and at considering how to approach smaller matters in the context of the wider matter and the overall goal for the client.
