Personal Injury solicitor joins law firm

James is a personal injury solicitor with over 15 years’ experience specialising in spinal cord injury cases. He qualified in 2004 and was a personal injury solicitor for around 12 years before undertaking the role of chief executive officer at Aspire Law.

James has both professional and personal experience in this complex area and represents and supports clients who have sustained spinal cord injury, and their families.

James commented: "It has been a long term ambition of mine to join Stewarts' personal injury department. The team has been known to me throughout my career and has always demonstrated its commitment and dedication in getting the best possible outcomes for its clients."

Paul Paxton, Head of Personal Injury said: “We are delighted to welcome James to Stewarts. His experience, energy and commitment to helping those suffering life changing injuries fits perfectly with our existing practice.”
