Practice Areas
Matthew Shayle is a founding partner of Eldrin Legal LLP and a private client lawyer advising high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals, families, trustees and family offices on complex domestic and international wealth structuring matters. His practice covers trusts, foundations, succession planning, personal taxation and cross-border private wealth arrangements, with particular expertise in advising internationally mobile individuals and families.
Matthew is recognised for his work with multi-jurisdictional wealth structures and for providing strategic, practical advice that balances tax efficiency, governance and long-term succession objectives. He is particularly noted for advising “next generation” wealth holders and entrepreneurial families on the preservation, transition and management of wealth across generations.
His experience includes advising non-UK domiciled individuals on UK tax matters, establishing succession-focused structures for international clients, assisting clients with HMRC enquiries, and advising UK and non-UK trustees and other trust parties on all aspects of trust law and administration. He also advises on corporate and indirect tax issues affecting private wealth structures and related compliance matters.
Having practised for a number of years with leading UK and Swiss law firms, including Lenz & Staehelin, Matthew has significant experience of cross-border private wealth matters. He has also been instrumental in creating innovative conflict solutions in the sports industry.
Matthew is a member of STEP, holds STEP's Advanced Certificate in UK Tax for International Clients, and has consistently been recognised over many years by Legal 500 and Chambers High Net Worth as a leading practitioner in private client and personal tax law.
