Spear’s Review

‘When unexpected events happen, clients reach for their trusted advisers,’ says Bart Peerless.

Many of Charles Russell Speechlys’ top-tier clients seek Peerless’s advice on succession and estate planning. Peerless, named senior partner at the firm in 2021, has more than 25 years of experience advising HNWs, trustees and beneficiaries as well as ‘some of the world’s wealthiest’ and most complex families. A typical client has assets in the ‘multi-billion’ or ‘multi-hundred-million’ range.

‘Communication really sits at the heart of it,’ he says, when asked about the most important aspect of tax and trust advice. It’s also crucial to ‘be able to reach out to people and understand what motivates them’, he adds.
