Spear’s Review

‘I aim to obtain the optimum outcome for my clients, both in legal and commercial terms, as quickly as possible, and pursue their case with dogged determination and tenacity,’ says Peter Steen, a partner and head of private wealth disputes at Mishcon de Reya. 

Specialising in high-value, complex trust and estate disputes, Steen has worked in Jersey and remains qualified to practice in Ireland and California, meaning he possesses a wealth of experience in international private client cases, including shareholder disputes.

He frequently acts for trustees, beneficiaries and protectors, as well as companies defending claims brought by shareholders. This has included ultra-high-value cases in Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, Liechtenstein, Malta, New Zealand and Switzerland; Steen often works on matters that are live in multiple jurisdictions all at once.
