We are delighted to announce the promotion of James Cowan to Partner at Anderson Lloyd.

James is a leading employment lawyer whose practice encompasses the full spectrum of employment law and dispute resolution. He has built a distinguished reputation as a specialist in complex workplace investigations, navigating sensitive matters with precision and integrity.

His ability to guide organisations through their most complex and confidential people matters has made him a trusted adviser to clients across industries - and it is this depth of expertise and judgement that makes him a natural fit for partnership.

John Farrow, who leads Anderson Lloyd’s employment practice alongside James, speaks to what sets him apart:

“James is an innovative, lateral and at times unconventional thinker. He is always willing to share his unique analysis, guide and mentor junior members of our team, and strongly argue his point even when he is in the minority. His views both challenge and grow the teams he works with, and these same attributes help him provide sound, considered advice to clients.“

Please join us in congratulating James on this well-deserved milestone.
