James is a specialist in employment and discrimination law. His particular expertise lies in defending complex and high-value discrimination and whistle-blowing cases, as well as providing strategic advice on a broad spectrum of employment law issues.
James is predominately instructed by public & private-sector respondent organisations including police forces, NHS Trusts, universities, county councils and large corporate clients. In addition, he successfully represents claimant employees.
James also maintains an extensive and wide-ranging advisory practice on all aspects of employment law, including TUPE and pension transfers, redundancy issues, settlement agreements, equal pay claims, restrictive covenants and bonus schemes.
Other areas of expertise include internal investigations (disciplinary & grievance), presenting or chairing internal hearings and appeals, witness training, pension advice, police collaboration agreements, ill-health retirements, injury on duty awards, policy & reputational issues and sensitive matters of national security, for which James has security vetting. He also lectures extensively and provides training seminars.
As senior counsel, James is comfortable representing clients against leading juniors and QCs. Having formerly worked in the City, as well as completing pupillage at a leading shipping set, James is able to bring his commercial experience to bear on his employment practice.
James is able to accept instructions from corporate clients directly via the Public Access Scheme.
