James Hickman

James advises clients across a wide range of contentious matters. This ranges from contentious trusts and probate matters, to regulatory and public law, and general commercial disputes. 
This brings James into contact with different types of individuals and organisations, with a variety of priorities and attitudes to risk. 

James's work covers a broad range of issues and topics under the litigation banner. Recently James assisted higher education clients to address issues arising from the implementation of the GDPR, including addressing disputes and issues around compliance. This included advice both before and as part of formal legal proceedings.
As part of the contentious trusts and probate team, James has assisted executors to understand and comply with their obligations to administer estates and prepared applications to court to seek directions where necessary. 

James has recently become a member of the Birmingham Law Society Student Committee. In his spare time he enjoys swing dancing and has been involved in teaching and running dance events in Birmingham.
