Peer review:

Peter is a calm, collected, and seriously intelligent lawyer. He combines excellent client service with razor sharp legal analysis and fantastic interpersonal skills.

12 Feb 2021

Co-worker review:

His external charm belies his razor sharp instinct and determination to get the nub of a problem when fighting cases on behalf of his clients.

22 May 2020

Co-worker review:

I have been working with Peter for the past two years, which has included acting together on a complex, very high value, multi-jurisdictional trust dispute. He is a robust litigator with a wealth of experience in offshore trusts. Peter gets to the heart of what really matters to his clients and ensures that their motivations and objectives are front and centre when making strategic decisions. Peter also takes the time to mentor, develop and support junior fee earners in the team.

A first port of call for anyone seeking contentious trusts advice. Has had a fantastic career with both onshore and offshore experience and it shows. He provides comprehensive solutions in a creative, intellectually sound manner. Excellent lawyer.

Removed a trustee of a £200m trust

I successfully removed a trustee from a significant landed estate on behalf of a beneficiary of the estate contesting the appointment of a judicial trustee. Assets held within the trusts are valued at over £200m.
