Peter was called to the Bar in 2007 and practices across all areas of civil law, including contractual disputes, personal injury, employer’s liability and occupier’s liability. He acts for both claimants and defendants.

After graduating from Oxford University, Peter worked in China as an English language teacher, then in the UK as a computer programmer, before deciding to take up the law.

Peter’s talent for his chosen profession soon became evident. During his law conversion course he gained the highest mark in his year for Contract Law and was subsequently awarded a Kalisher Bursary from the Kalisher Scholarship Trust, an award to assist talented students in training for the Bar.

Clients note that Peter is extremely dedicated and hardworking, with a genuine interest in their cases. In Court he is known for his thoroughness and precise knowledge of the facts, and has been described as “engaging, persuasive and incisive.”

He says he loves his job: “There are a million and one ways in which parties fall into disputes with one another. It’s endlessly fascinating and challenging. I find it very rewarding being able to assist them with their problems.”

Peter lives with his family in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside. He is Captain of the Liverpool Bar XI cricket team and also enjoys football, chess and fishing.
