Career
James advises both employers and employees on the full spectrum of employment law matters, including day-to-day surgery advice, litigation, transactional support and executive severance.
His diverse practice includes acting for clients across a range of sectors, including education, financial services, advertising and technology. He is also one of a handful of specialist maritime employment lawyers in the UK, with experience including project managing complex and highly sensitive multi-jurisdictional crew disputes, advising on the Maritime Labour Convention, and drafting Seafarer Employment Agreements and crew handbooks.
In recent years, his practice has had an increased focus on High Court litigation and arbitrations, with significant cases including: a partnership dispute; injunctions relating to misuse of confidential information, team moves and restrictive covenant enforceability; and an FA Rule K breach of contract arbitration.
