James Arthur Sharpe was called to the Bar in 2014. He completed pupillage at 42BR, and he was taken on as a tenant in 2016. James completed a mixed common law pupillage, and, for the first few years of tenancy, he practised in all areas of work covered by chambers. He has since become a specialist family practitioner, accepting work in any matter which has a family dimension. 

James read history at the University of Cambridge and then completed a master’s degree in medieval history. Before being called to the Bar, he worked in the Houses of Parliament as a researcher and parliamentary assistant.
