About James Griffin - Managing Partner at Everys Solicitors
As Managing Partner of Everys Solicitors LLP, I am a commercial litigation solicitor recognised for clear strategic judgment, effective problem-solving, and a personable approach that has built lasting trust across the South West. I am dedicated to Everys and its staff, and I am proud to help lead a firm with a strong heritage and a forward-looking perspective.
In the early 2000s, I established Everys’ Dubai office, expanding the firm’s reach and enhancing our support for clients with cross-border commercial interests. This experience informs my approach to complex, high-value disputes where commercial realities and legal strategy must align.
Alongside my legal practice, I farm in Somerset, raising beef cattle and sheep and operating a licensed TB Isolation Unit. This agricultural background provides practical insight into rural business, land management, and the challenges faced by farming enterprises, which clients in the sector value.
I am well known throughout the South West for being approachable, straightforward, and committed to building strong, lasting relationships.
Outside work, I enjoy shooting, horse riding, skiing, and watching rugby. These pursuits reflect my appreciation for the outdoors, sport, and the communities around them.
