“James Davies loves the law! He knows financial remedies law inside out and makes it his business to leave no stone unturned in his efforts to achieve the best result for his client. Even in the most complicated of cases he is able to identify at an early stage what the important issues are and which issues deserve the most attention and resources and which do not. He is also relentless in pursuing disclosure. He is truly an excellent lawyer."

Highlights

Acting for a client where most of the wealth, including a country mansion, valuable works of art and a vintage Rolls-Royce were mostly contributed by our client's ex-spouse. We provided advice for her to achieve a fair share of the family money in challenging circumstances.


Acting for a client with international assets in his divorce and his financial remedy negotiations, allowing him to safeguard family money advanced to the couple in lieu of inheritance. We achieved a clean break for him and preserved his pension provision. By achieving this constructively and by providing advice in the background to mediation saved the client significant cost and meant that the parties could communicate with one another regarding their children.


Frequently acting for cases involving business assets, pensions, international elements and trusts, inheritance and pre-acquired property. A recent case including acting for a client in court proceedings leading to him successfully retaining the family business, his SSAS pension scheme and paying a term maintenance order to his wife.
