About Peter

Peter has a Master of Laws degree with Honours from Auckland University.

For a period in excess of 35 years he has worked as the litigation partner in law firms in Auckland and has specialised in solving complex commercial disputes and unravelling intricate relationship (including matrimonial) property structures for spouses and partners.

He has been involved in Court proceedings, arbitration and mediation; such courts include the Court of Appeal, High Courts and Family and District Courts and specialist tribunals concerning employment and weathertight homes.

Many of the cases in which he has been involved have been reported in the law reports due to the importance of the legal principles being determined.

Peter believes he can assist clients with his usual sympathetic approach and an appreciation of the costs involved to clients but without cutting corners.
