When the council's longest ever and most complex land reclamation contract fell into dispute, Peter provided us with legal advice and guidance. I was impressed by his incisive understanding of the complexities, but above all his constant effort to seek resolution in the client's interest by conciliation and the avoidance of protracted and costly litigation. The land is now reclaimed and almost fully developed, being commonly regarded as one of the most successful regeneration schemes in the North of England

I would like to thank you for your invaluable support and professionalism over a five year period in what were trying and challenging times. You have the innate ability to demystify the most daunting of legal complexities and empowered the PCT to successfully mount a multi party legal claim. The outcome was a multi million pound settlement against the contractors and an amicable resolution with the stakeholders. I felt confident and informed throughout the litigation process and while I hope that I will never require the support of a solicitor in the future if I do you will always be my first port of call. It was refreshing to deal with a professional who always went above and beyond in his approach to work and I value the relationship that was formed during ‘our’ protracted pursuit of the contractors and the professional team

Thank you for your help in achieving a satisfactory conclusion to a commercial dispute regarding provision of IT related services and IP rights. Your prompt actions firstly stopped us losing further money during the negotiations, and then helped reach a satisfactory agreement with all outstanding monies paid by the other party and with a minimum of costs. I would be more than happy to recommend your work to others, and particularly your approach of seeking resolution to the situation before any costly Court case. It is good to know there are solicitors around who work to achieve a negotiated resolution rather than taking every case to the Courts
