James Hope

Partner

James is a commercial property lawyer and the head of the Wiggin property group, with extensive experience advising a wide variety of international clients on their real estate requirements.

“I advise on all aspects of commercial property law, but I work primarily in specialised areas for clients in the media, betting & gaming and technology sectors.

The requirements of this role can be fairly novel – whether that’s how to structure the refurbishment and lease of an entire central-London building, how to draft a location contract for driving tanks over the Sussex countryside, how a country estate can facilitate a music festival, or how an interactive gaming start-up should negotiate lease terms with a tech-hub.

This sector focus means I can help clients quickly identify key points of law and commercial concern, and get the result that they want.”
