James Skidmore

Supervising Chartered Legal Executive

I am an accredited Family Lawyer at National Legal Service. My primary focus is Private children law, where I advise and represent clients in complex and sensitive matters. I deal with internal relocation with a growing knowledge in international relocation in Private children law.

I specialise in all aspects of children law, representing clients in private children disputes, domestic abuse proceedings, and cases involving local authorities. I regularly act in complex cases involving allegations of domestic abuse, coercive and controlling behaviours, and other significant safeguarding concerns.

I recently obtained my Advanced Family Law Accreditation through the Law Society, which shows my enhanced knowledge in the Family arena.

I undertake my own advocacy wherever appropriate, ensuring that clients benefit from continuity of representation and clear, informed support throughout their proceedings. I regularly appear before the Family Court in children and domestic abuse matters, where I am able to draw on my detailed knowledge of each case to present clients’ positions clearly, confidently, and sensitively.

In my free time I enjoy playing golf, Skiing and my new obsession with padel. I am currently trying to learn French.
