James Murphy

Hi, I’m James. I’m a financial planner at Lawrence Clarke. I have more than a decade of experience in financial services, working with some of the UK's leading pension and investment providers before becoming a financial adviser. I specialise in providing tailored advice with a focus on pensions, investments, and protection. I take a holistic approach to financial planning, working with clients to understand their unique financial goals and ensuring their investment strategies align with their objectives while maximising tax efficiency. I live in Emsworth with my wife, Aisling, and our son. In my spare time, I enjoy family trips, keeping fit, and taking walks in the countryside with our dog, Tayto. Since 1998, our Hampshire-based team has been creating bespoke financial solutions for individuals from all walks of life. We’re always tuning in, learning, and planning to make sure we’re doing right by you and providing financial planning that takes you to your destination. As an independent financial planner, we provide straightforward advice that cuts through the jargon, focusing on what you need and helping you reach your goals. Our expert team specialises in helping a wide range of clients, including business owners and directors, wealth builders, those planning for or living in retirement, and those looking to pass on their wealth or protect loved ones – all with personalised solutions tailored to their unique needs. The heart of Lawrence Clarke is our dedicated team of financial planners, administrators, paraplanners, and directors. We all work towards a shared goal of providing peace of mind and financial freedom to clients. Our move to an Employee Ownership Trust shows that we have big plans for the future and will continue to provide the high level of service that we’ve become known for. Count on us to support you and your family from the first chat to the final details, and everything in between. Get in touch with our friendly team today to learn how we can help you.
