James Riley

James founded RGSLAW in 1997, opting for the entrepreneurial path over a partnership at a large commercial insurance firm. His leadership has built a firm renowned for high-quality commercial advice and strong client relationships, often matching the results of much larger firms. With over 30 years in insurance advice and litigation, James thrives on the diversity of his work, whether tackling product liability crises, managing complex construction risks, or guiding directors through investigations. RGSLAW, though boutique, serves an impressive clientele, including a long-standing relationship with a luxury German motor vehicle manufacturer for product liability advice. James extends his influence beyond client work by speaking at industry conferences and leading the firm’s education and mentoring programmes, underscoring his commitment to professional growth within and outside the firm.
