Practice Areas
James is a leading junior practising across a broad range of commercial disputes, both in litigation and arbitration (LCIA, ICC, UNCITRAL and others). He is regularly instructed on large-scale and high profile disputes of an international nature. His workload spans civil fraud and asset tracing (with extensive experience of freezing orders and other interim relief), banking and other financial litigation (including funds disputes), general contractual and other commercial disputes, and company law disputes of one sort of another (including shareholder disputes and claims against directors), as well as domestic and cross-border insolvency.
James is an experienced advocate, with significant trial and appellate experience as sole counsel, recognised for the quality of his advocacy and the maturity of his approach.
In 2021 James was shortlisted for Chambers & Partners Commercial Litigation Junior of the year, and in 2018 he was featured by Who’s Who Legal among a small number of ‘rising star’ juniors under 15 years’ call.
He is a contributing author to Civil Fraud: Law, Practice & Procedure, 1st Ed. (Sweet & Maxwell, 2018) and also writes for the Butterworths Journal of International Banking & Financial Law.
