Working Free is pleased to collaborate with Andrew James of OnHand Counsel Ltd as our Technical Topic Partner for Taking Legal Advice. Andrew has been a qualified solicitor since 1987. He spent the first nine years of his career at a mid-sized City firm and followed this with partner roles at BP Collins in Gerrards Cross and IBB Solicitors in Uxbridge. He went ‘independent’ in 2008 when he set up OnHand Counsel Limited and has never regretted it! He has over 30 years’ experience of handling an interesting and wide ranging caseload including private company and business sales and purchases, MBOs and joint ventures and a very broad range of corporate and commercial advisory and contract work, spanning a wide range of industries. Dealing with large multinationals right through to individual sole traders, he is experienced in dealing and negotiating with a broad range of people from different backgrounds with different cultures, perspectives, personalities, objectives and approaches. Andrew lives and works in St Albans and dabbles in cricket, squash, real tennis, golf, guitar and origami.
Andrew would be happy to hear from you with your queries and issues – preliminary discussions are free – and these might include referring you to other specialist lawyers, working on the basis that anything of a substantive nature might lead you to engaging him on a professional basis. This would reflect the standard Working Free approach and Terms of Business are available on request or at the time of engagement. andrew.james@workingfree.co.uk
