James Carmichael

Managing Partner - Commercial Property, Business Law

What do you do?

Having been a Partner here at Huggins since 1985, I am now the Managing Partner and specialise in commercial property and company law. I advise a wide range of clients including individuals, small businesses and large-scale developers.

How do you make a difference for your clients?

My clients value my experience and pragmatic attitude. Having worked with a number of clients for many years, I am able to anticipate their requirements and find solutions to problems before they arise which results in efficient transactions and effective working relationships.

Why do your clients like working with you?

I focus on finding practical solutions when difficulties arise. Commercial work moves at such a fast pace that understanding my clients and what they want to achieve means that I can concentrate on getting the job done.

In the commercial/commercial property department, one of our main strengths is that we work as a team and to that end I am supported by my colleagues, Vishal Amin and Tora Leslie and Chantelle Konnoris.

  • Mr Carmichael is very down to earth and talks in plain English. We found your service excellent.

  • James was extremely helpful - many thanks.

  • The entire team at Huggins, Lewis and Foskett is second to none. In fact, I can’t rate Simon Huggins (wills and probate), Ann Hines (conveyancing), or James Carmichael (lease extensions) highly enough. All are professional, knowledgeable, speedy, and responsive - and everything’s always clearly explained and fairly priced. They’re also absolutely lovely people. Thoroughly recommend.
