Prior to founding Indemnity Legal, James was a senior lawyer at a Tier 1 policyholder litigation firm in the City of London. Before that, James was an in-house lawyer at a leading international insurance broker, a major loss adjuster at  a global US insurer, and an “insurer’s lawyer” at an international law firm specialising in representing insurers.
