James Mitchell Denker was associated professionally with London, England, where he maintained an address at Black Friars Lane and later in Kensington. Public professional records identify him as a solicitor and partner in major London law firms. He died in London on July 21, 2008.
Denker held a Master of Arts from the University of Cambridge, conventionally recorded as an M.A. (Cantab.). He was admitted to the bar in England in 1976, establishing the professional qualification that preceded his career as a London private-client lawyer.
Denker was a partner of Rowe & Maw, practicing from the firm's offices at 20 Black Friars Lane, London. He subsequently became a partner in the private-client practice of Bircham Dyson Bell, where he specialized in international succession and estate planning, international trusts, and the administration of cross-border estates. In this capacity he contributed professional commentary on European probate reform and wrote for the firm's Individual Matters bulletin. He died in the summer of 2008 after an illness with cancer.
