James Johnstone, James Johnstone Ltd, UK

In 1999, James Johnstone - a non-practising barrister - set up his own business as a Fixer. Since then, he has worked around the world for UHNW individuals and corporate clients, resolving complex requests for them at the highest level across an unusually broad spectrum of services. He says he is not a specialist, but ‘merely a master at being a Jack-of-all-trades’. A fictional TV series based on his work as a Fixer has just been commissioned by the UK’s leading television production company.
