Peter James

Assistant Manager

0131 226 0200

I am an Assistant Manager specialising in Private Client Tax, with close to 10 years’ experience advising on a wide range of personal tax matters. I have a particular focus on Inheritance Tax (IHT), trusts and executries, and I enjoy working closely with individuals and families to help them navigate what are often complex and sensitive matters, providing clear, practical advice that supports long-term planning and compliance.

A key part of my role involves trust and estate work, including advising on IHT planning, preparing trust and estate tax returns, and supporting clients through the administration process. I also assist with Trust Registration Service requirements in the UK and the Irish CRBOT, helping clients and trustees meet their reporting obligations with confidence. Alongside compliance work, I am involved in advisory projects, working with clients and their wider professional teams to structure their affairs in a tax-efficient and commercially practical way.

I take a practical and down-to-earth approach, focusing on making complex tax matters as clear and manageable as possible. I value building strong relationships with my clients and their advisers, ensuring they feel supported and well-informed throughout the process, whether dealing with day-to-day compliance or more strategic planning decisions.
