James is a solicitor and Partner, sharing 20 years’ experience with the Commercial Property Team.

James’ impressive and broad legal experience underpins his specialism in commercial and general property matters together with some company and commercial work (especially in a property setting). His diverse background includes many legal disciplines - from employment law to civil litigation (which included advocacy before Hight Court and Circuit Judges).

Training and then working for many years in the City, James became a Partner at Curry Popeck in 2014, and we welcomed him to JPC in April 2019.

At JPC, James’ work focuses on sales, purchases and refinancing of commercial developments, lettings of commercial property, conversions of commercial premises into blocks of flats (including assisting with planning issues), drafting leases, incorporation of management companies and drafting articles of association, and general company/commercial work; especially where there is a high degree of property involvement.

James also enjoys problem-solving and troubleshooting in the context of complex legal problems.

His solution-driven and transparent approach mean that he has attracted a broad client base: multinational corporations, property investment companies, medical practitioners in Harley Street, high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, banks and homebuyers.

James is often referred work by other industry professionals, who trust his input and expertise on complex commercial matters. His expertise has made him a valued presence on the board of West London Business; a non-profit business leadership forum.
