James McKean
James is a barrister specialising in disputes concerning trusts, wills, and estates, where he is described as “superb” (Legal 500, 2022).
His practice ranges from the high-value (a claim against a £118 million estate) to the bizarre (a disputed trust made primarily to benefit a tortoise). His reported cases include Lattimer v Karamanoli [2023] EWHC 1524 (Ch), Fennessy v Turner [2022] WTLR 1295, and Eade v Hogg [2021] EWHC 1057 (Ch).
He is a contributor to Williams, Mortimer & Sunnucks on Executors, Administrators and Probate.
