Diversity and inclusion in the legal system need not just an awareness of the differences but also the capacity to change one's own conduct in order to connect with others on an equal footing.

This week, we're super excited to be chatting with James Lister, head of private wealth disputes and a partner at Stevens & Bolton. James advises on claims by or involving estates and trusts, most commonly involving high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Prior to his legal profession, he studied music at the University of Nottingham before studying law.

James was shortlisted as \\u201cPartner of the Year\\u201d at the Citywealth Future Leaders Awards 2019 and has been named as one of Legal Week\\u2019s Private Client Global Elite \\u201cOnes to Watch\\u201d for the last four years. James has also been shortlisted in the \\u201cLitigation Rising Star\\u201d category at the British Legal awards 2020. And ranked as a Tier 1 individual in the Chambers HNW directory 2020, and as a \\u201cNext Generation Partner\\u201d in the Legal 500.
