York lawyer James Thornton has launched James Thornton Family Law.

James aims to redefine family law services by combining fixed fee options, pioneering approaches, and the latest innovations in the field.

James spent the last 10 years contributing to the development of Paradigm Family Law from scratch, helping to transform it into a multi-award-winning firm renowned for its pioneering fixed fee model.

Wanting to run his own firm and use new techniques, James integrates office, hybrid, and work-from-home arrangements.

By collaborating with consultants from across the country, James Thornton Family Law plans to extend its reach and ability to provide top-quality legal representation nationwide.

James said: “Leaving Paradigm was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. It was a firm built from the ground up and one that achieved remarkable success.

"However, James Thornton Family Law represents the next evolution of my professional journey.

"It is a firm that will allow me to continue delivering high-quality legal services while embracing the flexibility and innovation that today’s clients deserve."

James continued: “I am incredibly grateful for the support and understanding of my clients, colleagues, and connections during this transition. Their encouragement has been invaluable, and I am excited about the future of James Thornton Family Law. Together, we will continue to achieve great things.

“I am delighted to introduce my new law firm. With James Thornton Family Law, we aim to combine the experience gained from the past with the latest innovations in legal practice.

"Our mission is to provide unparalleled legal services with the flexibility and responsiveness needed in the modern legal landscape."

“I am excited to continue serving my clients and forging new relationships in my new venture.”
