Spear’s Review
James Stewart of Penningtons Manches Cooper has a formidable record of getting results in even the most difficult of family law cases. He describes his role as bringing ‘real added value’ to complex financial cases, applying a creative and solution-orientated approach. ‘I focus on securing a fair settlement from the very outset – and complexity should never be a bar to an early settlement,’ he adds.
He tells Spear’s he wants clients to ‘feel at ease’ that they will receive the benefit of a service which is ‘second to none’. His approach is friendly but professional, and he has a proven track record of helping even the most contentious of cases find fair solutions, particularly where children are involved.
He is a general editor of Family Law: A Global Guide – also known in the industry as the ‘Blue Book’ – which is described as ‘a definitive comparative guide to family law in 56 major jurisdictions’.
Notable Cases

A warm and engaging family lawyer, and a formidable negotiator, James shines in complex cases that need strategic vision and a motivated team.
