Simon James, senior partner at Ansons Solicitors has been
profiled within the 2010 Legal Experts directory for his
agriculture and estates expertise.
The directory, which was released in April this year and is used
by both solicitors and clients, is regarded as being the definitive
guide to the UK's leading specialist legal practitioners. It
identifies and profiles the leading specialist lawyers in areas as
diverse as advertising, agriculture, charity, defamation,
environment, shipping and sports law.
The directory quotes Simon James as having: "an extensive
agricultural and commercial property client base, acting not only
for individuals but also for partnerships, charities and local and
national companies, including developers. He has advised on
agricultural law since the early 1980s and comes from a farming
family. Through his agricultural work, Simon has also become
involved in tax planning for families and businesses generally and
frequently acts as a trustee of family trusts".
Mr James, who has recently celebrated his 30th year of being a
qualified legal professional, commented: "Being profiled in this
directory is important because agricultural and commercial property
work remain a key part of my professional life and I am keen to
strengthen and expand my client base of farmers and
landowners".
Mr James is a member of the Agricultural Law Association and he
is well known within the agricultural community. He is an active
member of the Staffordshire community, including being deputy
chairman of St Giles Hospice, a director of Lichfield Festival
Limited and a member of the Rotary Club of Lichfield.
