James is the barrister you always want on your team. He works harder than any barrister I've encountered. He's a fierce advocate bringing an extraordinary level of energy and commitment to his work and a laser-focused strategic approach to everything that he does.

James is very quick and strategic. He knows the law and in particular knows the intricacies of the Civil Procedure Rules. Sometimes experienced barristers need to go back to the CPR provisions, but James has a lot of clever procedural points at his fingertips.

James's preparation was exemplary, and his cross-examination was razor-sharp. He was incredibly easy to work with and always made time to deal with the case.
