Profile
Based in our Tier 1 ranked (Legal 500) Singapore office, James Noble TEP leads the litigation, insolvency and restructuring practice in Asia and the largest, most diverse offshore litigation team in Singapore. James advises on Cayman, British Virgin Islands (BVI) and Bermuda law, and is the only Cayman and BVI admitted (and Bermuda registered) litigator in Singapore.
A specialist in complex and high value shareholder litigation, asset recovery, cross-border enforcement and insolvency, James has over 20 years' experience working in a wide variety of commercial, trust and estate disputes and private wealth matters. He regularly acts in high profile and market leading cases, particularly in connection with listed companies, and has specialist expertise in appellate matters in both the Court of Appeal and the Privy Council.
James is an active contributor of thought leadership pieces, and is most recently a co-author of a textbook published by The Global Legal Post on "Commercial Litigation and Enforcement".
Clients describe James as "an outstanding team leader, able to integrate a high-level awareness of his clients’ commercial objectives with an uncanny oversight of what the most junior associate, or busiest London silk, is doing to deliver the results needed for a positive outcome. Always calm in a tough and highly competitive environment." He is also noted as "a great lawyer, with a very sensible approach to litigation matters" and "whom clients respond really well to".
