My divorce was unpleasant and challenging, and James was absolutely first class. He combined technical legal excellence with humanity, calmness, great patience and humour. He set out strategic aims and principles against which my case would be ‎managed and delivered on all of these. He met aggression with assertion, obstruction with smart tactical engagement, and belligerence with charm and decency. The ultimate outcome of the case was sound, protecting the welfare of my children and finding an equitable balance between the needs of my former wife and myself.

Thank you Withers, in particular James Copson and Richard Handel, for all your support, hard work and professionalism during my long and difficult struggle. My sincere appreciation for helping me move on to a better life. I would not hesitate to recommend Withers anytime.

I have been a customer of Withers Worldwide for almost 3 years. I have always found James Copson to be very professional, efficient and supportive. I would always recommend James to anyone looking for a family lawyer as possibly, more importantly to me, James has a good heart as well as a good work ethic. He always keeps me calm during times of despair with my daughter’s dad.

Sources highlight his ‘specialist knowledge in pensions and tax.’

James Copson is a ‘very reliable lawyer, and great to deal with. He’s very much a safe pair of hands,’ comments a source. He has a strong practice acting on high-profile divorce matters and is adept at handling cross-border cases involving EU jurisdictions, and especially Italy. ‘He is very bright. On the mathematical tax side he’s very good,’ says an interviewee.

The ‘extremely good’ James Copson practises across a range of family financial issues and Children Act matters. He is particularly well versed in cross-border issues, particularly those involving Italy and other EU states.

James is a real tactician with a great technical understanding of the law. He’s an absolute delight to work with and knows what he’s doing and you know he’s taking the solid point, you can rely on him to hold a reasonable line.
