We’re delighted to share some positive news from across the firm, as James Armstrong has been appointed as an Equity Partner at Amicus Law.
James, who leads our Commercial Property team, becomes the firm’s third equity partner and the youngest in our 22-year history. His appointment marks an important step in strengthening our commercial offering and supporting our continued growth across the South West.
Based at our Southernhay West office in Exeter, James joined Amicus Law in 2020 and has played a key role in developing our Commercial Property team. Since then, he has built and led a talented team of specialists working across a broad range of matters, including multi-property residential transactions, advising commercial landlords, handling complex agricultural work and supporting clients with bridging finance.
Reflecting on his appointment, James said:
“I’m incredibly proud to become an equity partner at Amicus Law. Having been part of the firm’s growth over the past few years, it’s a privilege to take on this new responsibility and be more involved with the strategic direction of the business.
The strength of our commercial property team and the wider firm has always been underpinned by our collaborative approach and focus on delivering practical, high-quality advice to our clients. I’m looking forward to building on that, while continuing to grow the team and supporting the firm’s ambitions across the South West.”
Amicus Law’s Managing Partner, Claire Lovett, added:
“Since his appointment, James has not only built a highly effective team around him, but has also consistently shown an ability to identify new markets and opportunities for growth. He was already a highly accomplished solicitor when he joined us, and over the years he has continued to impress with his dedication to driving the firm forward.
He plays an integral role in our future plans, which makes this a natural next step. It’s a real pleasure to see him reach this milestone, and I’m proud to welcome him into the partnership.”
James’s promotion reflects both his contribution to the firm to date and the strength of our Commercial Property offering, as we continue to invest in our people and support our clients across the region.
