I specialise in Personal Injury work and am a member of APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers).

I am accredited by APIL as a Senior Litigator (as is my colleague, Marie Morrison). APIL featured me on their website as part of a discussion about various accredited specialists with APIL and why they became personal injury lawyers.

I am also accredited by The Law Society of Scotland as a Specialist in Personal Injury Law .

I also deal with family, employment and housing law.

From February 2023, I have become a member of the Law Society of Scotland’s Sustainability Committee.

I write the articles for the Blog, discussing Personal Injury Claim issues, on our Moray Claims website.

Outside the law, my main interest is playing the fiddle. I have been a member of the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra for over 40 years.

Client comments about Peter:

As I look back now after 3 years of pursuing satisfaction over the mishandling of my mothers estate by another firm I appreciate the efficient manner in which it was dealt. Peter Brash’s wise counsel and patience although sorely tried on occasion resulted in a positive outcome.

I have used the services of Grigor and Young on several occasions and have always been satisfied with the efficiency of the firm.

Before I went ahead with my personal injury claim through Grigor & Young, I did not know if my claim was justifiable, as I had phoned a well-known national personal injury law firm (from adverts, was all I knew of them beforehand) and they said it was not relevant to claim because of an “existing building” not being at fault (not being human negligence). I was also somewhat fearful of claiming against a major bank, being a daunting entity.

When I went ahead through G&Y, I felt very much and very quickly reassured by Peter Brash over the phone that you could help. I felt very happy by this, as I felt angry, and was very sore from my injuries. I felt that the “little person” had rights in the world! No obstacles seemed insurmountable thereafter.

I like that I got very prompt email responses and great quality of information relayed. I also felt that I could phone and speak to Peter anytime if I had a query or found new information.

The particular benefits of your services were: 1. Straightforward explanation of financial arrangements from the start; 2. Patient, listening qualities; 3. Persistence with negotiating final claim.

I would absolutely recommend Grigor & Young to others. Why would anyone be dealing with a widely-advertised firm when they get facts wrong from the start? G&Y gave clear, reassuring info from the very start. That’s important when one is anxious, feeling daunted and justifiably angry at a big business (the bank) neglecting public safety. I felt very cared for. Very pleased with the outcome. I felt vindicated.

I would like to thank you very much. I was recommended to contact you through “Which” Legal Advice. I am very glad I get this magazine, otherwise I would not have found G&Y.
