Provided by Murray Beith Murray LLP
Murray Beith Murray is one of Scotland’s longest-established private client law firms, tracing its origins back more than 175 years. The firm has built an enduring reputation for discretion, personal service and specialist expertise in wealth management, succession and estate planning for families, individuals and landed estates.
MBM advises clients across the UK and overseas on matters including wills, powers of attorneys, executries, tax advice and compliance, and asset protection with, notably, one of the largest trust portfolios in Scotland. The firm combines a strong Edinburgh base with English-qualified lawyers and a growing London client list, reflecting its cross-border capability.
MBM’s private client team represents the firm’s core business specialising in providing advice which is complex, high-net-worth and which, oftentimes, involves more than one jurisdiction. The firm has, for decades, supported private clients in protecting their assets, with a focus on succession planning from one generation to the next. The private client team works closely alongside the firm’s property teams which specialise in advising on residential, rural and commercial property interests.
Headquartered in Edinburgh, MBM’s client base has grown from its long-established reputation and the firm now handles affairs for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, business owners, landowning families, farming clients, and estates both North and South of the Border.
