James Scarborough

I’m based in Tees’ Hertfordshire offices. Having grown up in Hertfordshire, I have strong times to the local community and an understanding of the issues that often arise for families and businesses in the area.

I qualified as a solicitor in 2013 and have been a member of Resolution ever since, meaning I am committed to helping families, where possible, to find constructive, practical solutions during what can be very difficult times.

I specialise in resolving financial issues that arise when relationships break down — whether that’s financial remedy proceedings following divorce or disputes under Schedule 1 of the Children Act for separating cohabitants.

I also have a particular interest in cases with agricultural or farming backgrounds, where complex asset structures and generational considerations often require a sensitive and bespoke approach. I work closely with colleagues in other departments to help support this.

Alongside my financial work, I regularly advise on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, as well as arrangements for children after separation.

I provide clear, practical advice to help my clients move forward with confidence and peace of mind.
