Peter Shand

Spear’s Review

The Murray Beith Murray partner Peter Shand specialises in asset protection and estate planning, advising HNWs and their families on a wide range of succession, inheritance and tax matters.

As a Scottish and English/Welsh qualified lawyer he is able to serve clients ‘with interests both north and south of the border’. His practice also caters to a number of HNWs with international portfolios.

Shand also has a contentious side to his practice and holds a STEP Advanced Certificate in trust disputes which he says enables him to help clients ‘anticipate, and avoid, the common pitfalls’ that often lead to disputes. He joined the Edinburgh-based firm in 2004 and also has a background in corporate law, which means he has a nuanced perspective of issues faced by HNWs in the corporate world as well as family businesses.
