Charles Russell Speechlys’ estimable partner James Freeman acts for ‘all sorts of people with all sorts of problems’.

‘It could be some fiddly thing about an offshore trust structure,’ he explains. ‘It could be a soul in pain. And quite often it’s both.’

A specialist in all issues arising from relationship breakdowns, Freeman was a part of the family team at Speechly Bircham in the 2014 merger with Charles Russell. He’s accustomed to dealing with international cases which often involve hidden assets, and the construction of sophisticated financial settlements.

‘We do big, complex, difficult cases,’ he says of his practice. ‘Because that’s what we’re good at.’
