Practice Areas

James is a Resolution-accredited specialist family lawyer, arbitrator, collaborative lawyer and one of a small group of leading family lawyers, KCs and senior judges who serve on the family law consultation board of Practical Law.

Described by Spear’s Magazine as 'one of the most visible faces in UK family law’, a leading KC says: ‘James is undoubtedly one of the leaders in family law globally. Not only is he highly respected by his peers, he is loved by his clients and has amazing interpersonal skills in the most difficult of situations'.

James has acted in many ground-breaking family law cases including Clibbery v Allan [2002], to date the only family case to go to the Court of Appeal on the issue of privacy and press reporting. He is a former Times ‘Lawyer of the Week’ following what was the first case in British legal history where a judge was persuaded to refer a family law dispute to a religious court.

He co-chairs the Annual Legal Dinner which raises funds for the leading peace-building charity, Co-operation Ireland.
