James is an Associate in the property team at Cavell Leitch.

James’ areas of expertise include residential property, commercial property, subdivisions (large and small-scale), construction contracts, financing, and leasing.

James takes great pride in providing timely, pragmatic, and cost-effective legal advice in order to assist his clients to achieve their goals.

"I pride myself on providing practical and timely legal advice to my clients to help them achieve their goals. I believe that good communication plays a key role in this so I work hard to be available for my clients and to keep them informed of the process every step of the way."

Outside of work James is a keen musician having toured extensively throughout New Zealand in several bands.

"I’ve recently referred two different friends to James for conveyancing matters due to the great work he did for us earlier this year. In both cases the friends have offered me unsolicited feedback saying that they were impressed with James and the service he provided."
