29/07/2025, 09:57 Spotlight On: Ian Pringle - Muscatt Black Graf LLP Muscatt Black Graf managing partner Ian Pringle has been practising as a lawyer for more than 30 years. In addition to advising individuals and families on private client legal matters, Ian has extensive experience in residential property and commercial property, specialising in development work in and around central London. Here, we find out a bit more him. WHAT IS YOUR NAME AND JOB TITLE? Ian Pringle – Partner. WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU QUALIFY? I qualified as a lawyer in 1989 at Muscatt Walker Hayim. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT MUSCATT BLACK GRAF? I have worked at Muscatt Black Graf for the past two years following Muscatt Walker Hyam’s merger with Black Graf in 2023. WHAT AREAS OF LAW DO YOU SPECIALISE IN? I advise on residential and commercial property issues and private client law, providing a comprehensive legal service for individuals, developers and property investors. WHAT ARE YOUR MAIN AREAS OF FOCUS IN PROPERTY LAW? Most of my property work is focused on sales, acquisitions and development opportunities in central London. I frequently work on high-value property cases and regularly act for developers handling multi-million-pound deals. WHAT ARE YOUR AREAS OF SPECIALISATION WITHIN PRIVATE CLIENT? I can advise on the full spectrum of private client matters and specialise in drafting Wills. WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR WORK? https://muscattblackgraf.com/spotlight-on-ian-pringle/ 2/9
29/07/2025, 09:57 Spotlight On: Ian Pringle - Muscatt Black Graf LLP I particularly enjoy considering the practicalities of estate administration according to a Will and trying to explain this to my client. WHAT DO YOU FIND MOST CHALLENGING ABOUT YOUR JOB? Ditto! DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR CLIENTS SEEKING PRIVATE CLIENT LAW ADVICE? Three words: do not fight. WHAT IS THE MOST MEMORABLE CLIENT ISSUE YOU HAVE WORKED ON? I have worked on many memorable cases, though one that sticks in my mind is a contested probate case in which my partner Bruce Hayim and I were co-executors and we had to wrestle the assets that were taken from a family member not referred to in the Will. TELL US ABOUT YOUR TYPICAL DAY My day usually starts around 7:30am and finishes at 6:30pm. Unfortunately, it involves constant work and tapping away at the computer. WHAT NEW LAW WOULD YOU INTRODUCE IF YOU COULD? The biggest change I would make to the current legislative landscape would be to scrap inheritance tax. WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE OF PRIVATE CLIENT WORK? Unless the inheritance tax thresholds are lifted, there is going to be more work and tax to be dealt with. WHAT SKILLS DO YOU NEED TO BE A SUCCESSFUL LAWYER? The biggest attribute for a lawyer is to be able to put yourself in the shoes of your opposite party. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO BECOME A SOLICITOR OR WORK IN THE LEGAL INDUSTRY? Working as a lawyer can be very rewarding but is demanding. I’d advise anyone considering a career in the law to think very carefully about it to ensure it is right for them. https://muscattblackgraf.com/spotlight-on-ian-pringle/ 3/9
