James Russell

I qualified as an attorney / solicitor in England & Wales in February 2023, and was admitted to the State Bar of California in October 2024.

I provide commercial and strategic advice to clients across a wide range of domestic and cross-jurisdictional matters. My experience has involved me working with start-ups, large multinationals and public organisations.

Some recent work highlights have included:

• Advising a streaming ecommerce platform on their European online safety compliance project
• Assisting a videogame start-up with their European expansion efforts
• Advising a large media company on the procurement and implementation of new legal technology as part of its contract lifecycle management processes
• Assisting in the management of a large games company's trademark portfolio

I joined Fieldfisher in 2020 and have been working with the Silicon Valley office since 2023.
