Published: March 16, 2021, 7 a.m.

James Cooper, an Australian qualified lawyer, began his legal career on the corporate path working in Melbourne when it soon became apparent to him that the traditional ladder was not for him, so (long story short, of course) he took a "leap of faith" and now specialises in international development and policy. This leap had international reach which has resulted in James living and working in a number of countries including; the Solomon Islands, Sierra Leone and Papua New Guinea where he is currently based.
