James qualified as an English Solicitor in 1990 and has since practised as a Private Client Lawyer, specialising in Trusts, Corporate Structures and their associated taxation solutions, in both the UK and the Isle of Man.

In 2002 James purchased a licenced fiduciary, The Law Trust Limited, and shortly after that set up an accountancy practice (L.T. Accounting Services Limited) to support the fiduciary’s growing client base. In 2006 an additional small US client focussed fiduciary was acquired to complement the existing business.

James has had over twenty years of experience in wealth preservation and asset management, managing complex structures for both domestic and international high net worth client base.

The group was sold in 2015 allowing for the development of a new niche Private Client Legal Practice from where James acts as a professional Trustee, Protector or Lawyer for high net worth individuals.
