What our clients had to say
"I have worked with James on a number of insolvency cases and for a number of IP’s over a period in excess of 10 years and have always found him to be thorough and efficient. He is always a pleasure to work alongside and is an all-round good chap".

“James is a truly remarkable solicitor. His instructions are always clear and to the point. His grasp of insolvency law and practice, together with his energy and drive, make him a formidable lawyer and one of the best I have worked with. In short, he is the solicitor you want leading your team – you certainly do not want to be against him.”
James Pickering Barrister, Enterprise Chambers
“I have no hesitation in recommending James Boyle at James Edward & Associates. I was a Joint Liquidator of a nightclub business and James and his team recovered over half a million pounds in damages following a successful application under Section 423 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Would I use him again? Yes definitely”.
Ian Robert
“I had been fighting our opponents in the Spanish Courts for many years in an attempt to secure what was rightfully mine. I turned to James Edward & Associates during this difficult period and was delighted with the service I received. Working together with my Spanish lawyers I was able to recover a huge portion of my Spanish judgment against my debtors based in England. They were mindful of the pressure I had been under for all those years but were accommodating and kept me well informed throughout my case. I would have no hesitation in recommending James Edward & Associates.”
Sharon Knight

Rob Pearce, Partner, Robert Pearce Associates
“We instructed James Edward & Associates in relation to a breach of contract claim involving a cross border dispute in relation to the importation of components. Even though we are based in Central America we were able to communicate with James Edward & Associates who understood our needs and recommended a strategy which resulted in a settlement we were very pleased with. I have no hesitation in recommending James Edward & Associates.”
Helverth Rodríguez
"I found James very professional and efficient in the matter I instructed him on and would have no hesitation in recommending him."
Paul Weber

Adrian Dante
“I first contacted James Edward & Associates late on a Friday morning At the start of a bank holiday weekend. I had received by email that morning an instruction that a court hearing had been made related to an issue that I was involved with. After preliminary discussions with James Boyle ( Senior Partner ) about the case I decided to instruct Summit Law to represent my interests at the court hearing. In effect this only gave us 1 full working day to prepare our submissions, appoint council and be prepared. The Summit team were super efficient and kept me up to speed on all aspects of the case. The barrister selected was professional and efficient. Our challenge to the hearing was successful and we were awarded costs. This was an important decision that we were obliged to fight at very short notice. Without the commitment of the whole team at James Edward & Associates I am sure the outcome of the copyist proceeding would have been vastly different. Their attention to detail, proffecionalsm, speed of action and importantly communication was exemplary. Thanks to all concerned.”
