James works in our Forensic Accounting Department where he is responsible for investigating, quantifying, and supporting clients and businesses with valuations, financial disputes, commercial litigation, crime, breaches of contracts and fraud.

Before joining Milsted Langdon, James project-managed criminal and regulatory investigations into insider dealing, delayed disclosure, misleading statements, market manipulation, and other market abuse offences at the Financial Conduct Authority.

His experience spans numerous large and complex cases, including:

• A large number of compensation claims for former sub-postmasters of the Post Office as part of the Horizon computer system scandal.
• Calculation of loss of profits stemming from a ransomware cyber-attack on a top-20 global beer brewery.
• The large, public-interest LIBOR and EURIBOR benchmark manipulation fraud investigations at the Serious Fraud Office, from their inception, through 3 major trials and until the successful convictions of 8 individuals.
• Asset-tracing and providing expert evidence in a private litigation during the so-called ‘aluminium wars’ – a battle for control over the former Russian state-owned industry.
• Quantifying damages stemming from a breach of contract in a Private Finance Initiative (“PFI”) contract.
