For many years Peter has been widely recognised as a leading practitioner in matrimonial finance and divorce.
Peter is particularly recognised for his advocacy. Legal 500 have described him as “at the top of his game”, “a superb advocate, quick on his feet”, a “fearless and talented advocate” with a “powerful advocacy style”, and who “instils enormous confidence”.
Peter is also recognised in the legal directories for his “phenomenal attention to detail”, his “calm and confident manner”, for being “humorous and pleasant to deal with”, and because he “rolls up his sleeves to sort out disputes”.
Peter is the Chair of the FLBA’s matrimonial finance sub-committee, which has responsibility for all divorce/financial remedies work within the FLBA. He was first elected to the FLBA National Committee in 2017, and was re-elected in 2020 and again in 2023.
Peter sits regularly as a judge for ‘Private FDRs’ and has gained a strong reputation in this field. He is ranked by Legal 500 as a leading provider of Private FDR evaluations, described as “always on top of the papers” and delivering a “thorough and well-reasoned indication”.
Peter’s cases often involve high net worth or high profile individuals, complex corporate or trust structures and disputes over jurisdiction, and he frequently appears unled against King’s Counsel.
