We are Australian litigation specialists that help other law firms manage their litigation conflicts.

In a competitive market for legal services, we appreciate the need for large law firms to institutionalise their client relationships. Litigation conflicts can threaten sensitive client relationships where a competitor is appointed to handle the matter. William James offers an alternative that avoids this as we stick to our lane and seek to manage the conflict matter without upsetting existing relationships.

We avoid conflicts by not taking on front-end transactional or panel work for the likes of financiers, regulators and large corporates. We are a highly skilled team that focusses on complex high value disputes. Our team works with the latest AI discovery and research tools and has experience handling very large litigation matters.

When we are in Court for our clients, we play to win.

Formal appointments, informal restructures or safe harbour.

Our people are our strongest assets. We’ve built a company based around experience and specific expertise. We are always looking for likeminded people. We recognise the importance of not only recruiting the best talent but also developing their skills and providing a culture that lets everyone be themselves.
