Welcome to JCLM Solicitors

JCLM is solely owned and managed by Jamie Magill.
Having graduated in Law from the University of Durham and completed the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law, Jamie qualified as a Solicitor in 2006. Since qualification Jamie has specialised in Commercial Litigation with particular emphasis on Banking Disputes. Jamie has worked for a number of leading Law Firms and Commercial Banks in this sector including DAC Beachcroft, HBOS plc, Lloyds Banking Group, Eversheds, RBS and TLT.
Why JCLM
Jamie has over 15 years’ experience as a Commercial Litigation Solicitor. Importantly, all work is carried out by Jamie personally rather than by a Paralegal or a junior lawyer.
JCLM will consider all types of retainer including where appropriate Hourly Rates, Fixed Fees, Upfront Fees, Damages Based Agreements (DBAs) and Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs). Further, where DBAs and CFAs are considered appropriate JCLM will restrict its Success Fee to 20% of Damages it secures excluding VAT (to be contrasted by with the 35% plus VAT which sadly is commonplace these days).
It is anticipated that JCLM will offer DBAs and CFAs in respect of many Financial Disputes, especially those within the jurisdiction of Financial Ombudsman Service/Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
JCLM also offers a genuine 24/7 service on 07854 148650.
While comfortable with litigation practice and procedure, JCLM are also mindful that where appropriate ADR, Mediation and the Financial Ombudsman Service/Financial Services Compensation Scheme may be more cost effective ways of dealing with Financial Disputes.
