James Scarborough

Senior Associate

Family Law

Biography

I joined Tees in 2022, having previously been a Partner at a national niche family law firm. Having qualified in 2013, I have well over a decade of experience in family law, much of which has been working in my hometown of Hertfordshire. I have been a member of Resolution since qualifying.

I specialise in financial disputes arising from relationship breakdown. This includes both financial remedy disputes relating to divorce, and Schedule 1 children act disputes relating to separating cohabitants. I have a particular interest in financial disputes with agricultural or farming backgrounds.

In addition, I regularly advise on pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements, and disputes regarding arrangements for children.
