eprivateclient names Piers Master in its 2026 Most Influential list for the sixth consecutive year

Charles Russell Speechlys is pleased to announce that Piers Master, Joint Divisional Managing Partner of the Firm’s Private Client Division, has been recognised in the 2026 eprivateclient Most Influential list for the sixth year in a row – the definitive rankings of the key players in the UK and global private client practitioner sector.

The list showcases the importance of the private client advisory sector in guiding wealthy individuals and their families through multi-generational wealth cycles. The individuals selected this year were chosen by PAM Insight’s judges, based on achievements, promotions and progress over the past 12 months, along with nominations submitted by eprivateclient readers.

Alongside his Divisional Managing Partner responsibilities, Piers acts for some of the firm’s largest private clients. He has grown the firm’s international client base as a trusted adviser to families with financial power and business ambition from across the world. This includes work with Middle Eastern ruling family members and billionaires with global enterprises, cross border projects, and complex family shareholdings. These families and their advisers recognise his experience, and his role as their trusted lead adviser, whilst his market standing is reflected in frequent requests for his leading commentary and speaking at international conferences on private wealth matters. As well as acting for Middle Eastern clients, Piers also acts for many high net worth individuals from the US living in the UK or with financial interests in the UK.  He is an Academician of the International Academy of Estate and Trust Law, and an International Fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel.

Piers Master, Joint Divisional Managing Partner of the Private Client Division, comments:

I am honoured to have been recognised again in eprivateclient’s ‘Most Influential’ list. I am fortunate enough to work with an extremely talented and committed team in the Private Client Division, who work tirelessly to support individuals, families and owners of private capital navigating increasingly complex, multijurisdictional challenges. I am extremely proud of our collective achievements over the last 12 months, and it is a privilege to feature alongside so many respected practitioners recognised this year.
