Andrew James - Chairman

Job Titles:
  • Chairman
I've always loved great buildings and I take pride in the fact I've played a small part in the development of some interesting projects. I started out in construction law in 1988, having previously worked on building sites, so I have a thorough, working knowledge of the industry. I am an accredited adjudicator and mediator, and I am also on the Technology and Construction Solicitors Association national committee and adjudication sub-committee. I have also chaired a Constructing Excellence Best Practice Club for over 8 years. My expertise extends beyond the law as I'm very commercially focused. Wherever I can, I always look for commercial solutions to problems and even find business opportunities for my clients. My dedicated and results-focused approach to work is part of my desire to get the job done, even if that means working out of normal office hours. I act for a range of people and businesses including main contractors, specialist sub-contractors, funders and developers, sorting out contracts and any disputes they might have on building projects. I've been described as tenacious and I'm also very practical and hard working. Once I get hold of something, I don't give up until it's sorted. My passion for both modern and ancient buildings extends into my downtime too, and I like to visit grand designs in the UK and abroad. I also enjoy spending time with my family, rugby and fast cars.
