Alison Porter

On the first episode of Being Pennywise, Alison Porter is joined by James Copson, a highly regarded family lawyer who provided the inspiration for her company, Pennywise Consultants. James is a Partner at Sinclair Gibson on Lincoln's Inn Fields in London. 

As James tells us, he should have “impossible cases preferred” tattooed onto his forehead given the complexity of the ground-breaking cases he’s worked on. Some have involved the intervention of world leaders while in others he has experienced personal danger.

James and Alison discuss the significance of which country you choose to conduct your divorce proceedings in, as well as the necessity of working with professionals to prepare and analyse budgets. 

James highlights no-fault divorce as the hottest ticket in town as it allows couples to secure their divorce online without involving lawyers at all. 

Listen in to their discussion in full to hear more about James’ mad cases, as he calls them, on this episode. To contact James, simply look him up on his firm’s website www.sinclair.gibson.com 



Alison is the driving force behind Pennywise Consultants, the financial lifestyle analysis experts. In 2010, Alison saw a gap in the market for a new service to help lawyers to build cases and provide outstanding pastoral care to their clients. Since then, Pennywise has specialised in creating and challenging lifestyle and household budgets to support mediation and legal proceedings, equipping lawyers, professional advisers and private clients with the evidence they need to achieve the fairest outcomes.
