James Busch
Solicitor
James joined Berry Simons in September 2024 after just under two years as a Hearing Manager at the Environment Court. He graduated from Auckland University with a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Laws with Honours in 2022 and was admitted as a solicitor in November 2024.
James has a keen interest in Environmental Law, in particular how environmental legislation and legal principles interact with the natural world. He looks forward to learning more about this interplay, and to taking advantage of the opportunities presented by being at Berry Simons to be part of this constantly evolving area of law, policy and regulation.
“I am excited to take this next step with Berry Simons and already enjoy working with such a great team. They combine an incredible depth of knowledge with a fantastic environment for learning, and I could not ask for a better firm to introduce me to private practice. I have already seen their work with clients and look forward to refining my skills with them as time goes on."
Outside of work, James enjoys spending time with his extended family in Auckland, or playing sports such as badminton, tennis and disc golf.
