Practice Areas

Peter heads the family team at the Leeds office of Shoosmiths and is a member of the Shoosmiths Private Wealth team.

He advises on all aspects of family law for married or cohabiting couples, whether in relation to financial issues or the arrangements for children. Most of Peter’s cases involve complex issues or substantial assets.

He has practiced family law for more than 25 years and spent most of his career working in his native Yorkshire. Though based in Leeds, Peter acts for clients from across the country and overseas. His expertise includes cases with an international element which may involve a choice of jurisdiction, overseas assets or a parent wishing to relocate with the children.

Peter has particular experience of cases involving inherited wealth and assets acquired pre-marriage as well as the valuation of businesses, properties and pensions. He is able to draw on the expertise of Shoosmiths' in house accountancy support where there are “hidden” assets, complex business structures or issues surrounding 'non-dom' status. Shoosmiths is one of very few firms able to offer this service and the facility enables Peter to act quickly and discreetly.
