Career

Peter undertakes most types of criminal law work with principal emphasis upon fraud, terrorism, homicide and trafficking and cases with a trans-national or international element. He was appointed as special adviser to the Joint Parliamentary Pre-Legislative Scrutiny Committee on the Modern Slavery Bill in 2014. He also advises prosecuting authorities, government and NGOs on legislative reform.

He has appeared in many of the major terrorist trials in the last 12 years, creating the Protocol for Special Advocates in public interest immunity when he was appointed by the Attorney-General in the case of Bourgass & ors at the Central Criminal Court. His work defending in terrorism cases led in turn to him teaching recruits to the Counter-Terrorism Command on the law relating to interviews of suspects and on the human rights issues engaged in the investigation and prosecution of terrorism cases.

He is expert in international human rights law, appearing in domestic and regional human rights courts outside the UK, and participating in amicus briefs in overseas jurisdictions.

He appears pro bono before the Privy Council in appeals in capital cases from the Caribbean and associated work in the Caribbean itself. He has also appeared before the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Council and the Social Rights Group of the EU Parliament.
