FITZ was established in 2006 by James FitzGerald. The inspiration behind it was the personal challenge of setting up his own business and to be directly involved with and in control of the quality of advice being provided to clients, thereby personally vouching its value to them.

We offer a wide range of legal services for both corporate and individual clients from our base in Datchet near Windsor.

James FitzGerald has had a diverse career, including a number of year as a professional cricketer, which he combined with teaching biology, cricket and rugby at Eton College.

After 20 years at Eton he felt a calling to enter the legal profession. His first role was with the City practice Simmons & Simmons. He qualified into their highly prestigious environmental law department, where he spent seven years before moving into the corporate/commercial department.

Significant clients included Railtrack, the London Underground/TubeLines, the Ministry of Defence, the International Cricket Council and the MCC.

After leaving the City, James worked as Senior In-house Legal Counsel at Airwave O2 before returning to private practice as a partner with an international law firm, splitting his time between the UK and Spain.

James is chairman of the Windsor Referral Network, an influential business networking group. He is also a school governor, a member of Windsor Arts Centre’s management committee and a vice-president of Windsor Rugby Club. He’s an ardent supporter of London Irish Rugby Club and a member of the MCC and the Free Foresters and Cryptics cricket clubs.

In his spare time he enjoys writing and is the author of a number of legal and biological textbooks.

James is married with two daughters.
