James Hartley
James Hartley founded Ashcombe Reid Solicitors in 2001, after several years at a large commercial firm. He wanted to build a practice where clients deal with their own solicitor, someone who knows their file inside out and is easy to reach.
James specialises in complex divorces where business assets, prenuptial agreements and international aspects come together. Business owners and company directors value his understanding of how a company works and his discreet approach.
Besides family law, James has a broad practice in employment law and criminal law. He is known for his calm in tense situations and for his ability to explain complicated matters in plain language.
Memberships
James is a member of a national association of family law solicitors and mediators, and regularly gives talks on divorce for business owners. Every year he completes the required training in each of his registered practice areas.
