James is one of the few lawyers who can genuinely call themselves an indirect real estate professional.
His early career focused on direct real estate, allowing James to gain a wealth of expertise in, and understanding of, investment, disposal, development and letting transactions across the real estate spectrum.
Over the last 15 years, James has taken that experience into the indirect real estate sector, in the acquisition and disposal of corporate real estate holding vehicles, structuring UK and pan-European real estate joint ventures, advising on fund structurings, restructurings, investments and exits.
James' experience includes advising on a wide range of UK, European and global investment vehicles including limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, trusts, corporate structures and listed vehicles.
