Wilberforce Chambers

James has a brilliant mind and can see a way through even the most complex disputes. He is strategic, easy to deal with, and will fight tenaciously for his client.

James is able to consider large amounts of information and identify the relevant points for the case. He is responsive and considers an issue from all angles.

James is an extremely capable and technically strong barrister, particularly in the professional negligence space. He has a clear grasp of the legal principles and is very effective at applying them to detailed and often factually dense cases. He is someone you want to have on your team whether as a claimant or defendant. He produces high-quality written work, which is clear, well-structured, and analytically rigorous. He is particularly good at identifying the critical issues in a claim, especially on causation and loss, and presenting them in a way that is both logical and persuasive. He is also approachable, responsive, and works well as part of a wider team, with a good appreciation of client objectives and the commercial context of a case.
