Hello, you've reached James Kessler's homepage. I've a real website, http://www.kessler.co.uk , if you want to find out more about me.
I'm a tax barrister in Lincoln's Inn, and in general I only edit pages that are within my professional spectrum. I've made major edits to Foundations, to Charity and to Tax avoidance and tax evasion for example.
I read Akkadian and Hebrew in Oxford, back in the '80s. There I met my beautiful wife, Jane.
I am also the author of three books - Taxation of Foreign Domiciliaries [1], Taxation of Charities [2] and Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts [3]- the last, I'm proud to say, is the father of six daughter books, Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts in Australia [4], Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts in Canada [5], Drafting Cayman Island Trusts [6], Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts in the Channel Islands [7], Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts in Northern Ireland [8] and Drafting Trusts & Will Trusts in Singapore [9].
Oh yes, and I'm also a proud father. Feel free to leave a message.
I like to consider myself Chairman of the London Apostrophe Society.
All my family the other members unanimously voted me in.

Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and
futurist. He is known for his contributions to the design of the modern
alternating-current electricity supply system. This photograph, taken in Tesla's laboratory in
Colorado Springs in December 1899, supposedly shows him reading in a chair next to his giant "
magnifying transmitter" high-voltage generator while the machine produces huge bolts of electricity. The image was created through a
double exposure as part of a promotional stunt by the photographer Dickenson V. Alley. The machine's huge sparks were first photographed in the darkened room, then the photographic plate was exposed again with the machine off and Tesla sitting in the chair. Tesla admitted that the photograph was false in his book
Colorado Springs Notes, 1899–1900.
