About the firm
A law firm built around our clients.
Alexander James Solicitors is an independent Manchester practice acting for businesses and individuals across England and Wales. Our team of trusted advisers is committed to identifying practical options, communicating clearly and working toward the outcome agreed with you.
Your enquiry, carefully considered
A clear first conversation. A practical next step.
Tell us what happened, what you need to resolve and whether a deadline is approaching. You do not need to know the legal terminology or have every document ready to ask for an assessment.
- Keep key dates, correspondence and any existing reference numbers together.
- We will explain whether we can help, the proposed scope and the funding or fee arrangements before you instruct us.
Welcome to Alexander James Solicitors, a specialist practice that was established in 2017 by our Founding Partners, Claire Lines and Nadeem Malik, who are passionate about the practice areas we offer. Sebina Noreen joined the practice in 2020 and has been a valuable asset to the firm.
We are a specialist law firm and act for a broad range of clients. Our pragmatic approach is to listen to your priorities and expectations and put in place the best strategy in order to reach a quick resolution, whilst developing trust and confidence.
Everything we do centres on solving problems, rather than highlighting all the difficulties. We pride ourselves on our efficient procedures and clear solutions, but we continually strive for improvement in order to deliver results more effectively.
Our lawyers are happy to assist you with legal enquiries you may have in both private and commercial matters. We always put our focus on our clients and offer comprehensive legal services to help you make informed decisions.
Client-first
We start every matter by understanding the circumstances and outcome that matter most to you.
Transparent pricing
We explain the charging basis, likely third-party costs and material changes in writing. Funding options depend on the matter.
Pragmatic strategy
We focus on the route most likely to deliver a quick, sensible resolution — not litigation for its own sake.
Direct access
You speak with the qualified solicitor handling your matter, not a layer of intermediaries.
How we work with you
Every instruction starts with an honest conversation. We will listen carefully to what has happened, set out the realistic options and explain — in plain English — the likely cost, timeframe and outcome of each route. You will always know who is handling your matter, how to reach them and how charges are calculated.
We invest heavily in clear written advice. Reports, opinions and updates are drafted to be read by you, not by other lawyers, so that decisions about your case sit with you rather than being deferred to us. Where specialist input is required — leading or junior barristers, forensic accountants, medical experts — we coordinate it on your behalf.
Our approach is firmly client-first. That means we are happy to scope a piece of work narrowly, hand the file back when it is the right thing to do and recommend a different firm if your matter falls outside our practice areas. The relationships we build with our clients matter more than any individual instruction.
