Terra Firma Chambers is a ‘go-to stable for private client and contentious executry matters’. Tax litigation forms the backbone of the practice of Philip Simpson KC, who has dual tenancy with English set Old Square Tax Chambers. The ‘extremely knowledgeable’ Roddy MacLeod has extensive expertise in handling complex executry disputes; he recently appeared for the executor in a case involving applying for confirmation to an estate of an individual who had died abroad without owning property in Scotland, but whose domicile of origin was in Scotland. Gordon Watt‘s workload takes in contentious trusts matters, and Fergus Colquhoun is very experienced in handling agricultural tenancy succession disputes.
