Simon Pedley
Spear’s Review
Simon Pedley of Mills & Reeve is one of the leading contentious trusts lawyers in the north of England, with impressive expertise in resolving issues in the charitable, private wealth and sport sectors.
Pedley is the man for charities to approach if they have an issue with the Charity Commission; he also represents sports personalities and sports bodies.
One career highlight saw Pedley obtain a positive and groundbreaking judgment for the trustees of a family trust, setting aside a transaction where bad advice had led to a substantial and entirely avoidable tax charge. ‘We also managed to achieve a very satisfactory outcome against the professionals who caused the problem,’ Pedley says.
