While many people may think that working with a lawyer is a formal, stuffy, and serious experience, James Harding of Harding Property Law quickly dispels that idea.
First off, you’ll probably never see him wearing a suit except in very rare cases when he is in court. His friendly personality makes you feel like you’re meeting up with an old friend and, most importantly of all, he’s an excellent-in-demand lawyer specialising in property law conveyancing.
James, who has been a lawyer for 10 years, started his own practice in 2022 to deliver practical legal services and solutions in residential, commercial, and rural property transactions including conveyancing, off-the-plan developments, projects, and intricate property development issues.
He previously worked for a national law firm in Cairns for four years doing conveyancing and property work for government and other national clients and before that had worked with another smaller firm that dealt directly with everyday people buying and selling homes.
“As it turned out, I really missed working face to face with everyday people,” said the local lawyer. “So, I started my own practice to help people in the way that I think best, making that access and conveyancing process easy for everyone.”
“There are very few law firms in Cairns where you can call up for help with a conveyancer and talk directly to the person who runs the firm, does the work, and has been doing this work specifically for 10 years.”
His forensic approach to conveyancing along with his friendly nature assures his clients that they are in good hands. He’s easily accessible and is well known for answering his phone anytime.
While he is passionate about his work, he also loves supporting the local professional community such as sponsoring the JCU Law Ball, working with the Cairns Young Chamber, and hosting social and networking events for lawyers in Cairns.
Since opening up his firm a year ago with his wife Morgan, he has completed over 800 matters and the phone keeps ringing, which is why he now looks to the future.
