Managing Member

See more about James on LinkedIn.

Corporate Leader

As General Counsel of Gravity Renewables, James helped lead the company from early growth through capital raises, portfolio expansion, and ultimately a successful strategic sale. Along the way, he built the legal and compliance systems that supported scale and negotiated the core agreements that powered growth.

Trusted Advisor

Before Gravity, James advised a wide range of clients — from Fortune 100 companies to startups, municipalities, and family-run businesses. His work spanned real estate, regulatory, tax, environmental, and commercial matters, giving him a broad perspective across industries and deal structures.

Builder & Connector

James is also the founder of Switch, a cross-sector climate summit that brings together entrepreneurs, executives, and policy leaders to accelerate the energy transition. He created CU Energy Frontiers more than a decade ago, a student-led conference that continues to connect the next generation of leaders with the evolving energy economy.

What This Means for Clients

James understands what it takes to grow something from the ground up — to start, shape, and carry it forward. That builder’s perspective runs through his work with clients, offering guidance that is practical, clear, and aligned with your direction of travel.

Outside the Office

Away from client work, James finds joy in deep snow, deep beats, and the everyday adventure of raising his young son.
