With nearly 20 years’ experience, he represents individuals, senior executives and professionals across several sectors, including legal, medical, tech and financial services, providing strategic, commercially focused advice on contentious and sensitive matters. Peter is widely recognised for pursuing sophisticated litigation, navigating high‑stakes disputes and supporting clients through cases that often attract public, regulatory or media scrutiny. His dual experience, predominantly claimant‑side but with significant employer/respondent work, gives him deep insight into opposing strategies and enables him to advise clients with clarity, foresight and precision.
Peter’s practice centres on cutting‑edge discrimination and whistleblowing claims, complex unfair dismissal cases, and litigation that pushes the boundaries of discrimination law. He has acted in several landmark matters, including establishing philosophical beliefs as being protected under the Equality Act 2010, driving developments in the law through appellate work and securing the largest Employment Tribunal award ever made against a public authority. His wide‑ranging caseload includes representing well‑known individuals in high‑profile disputes. This has been particularly evident in his work representing gender‑critical/sex-realist clients in a series of notable cases, from the County Court, Employment and First Tier Tribunals through every level of the appellate pyramid to the Supreme Court. He is highly experienced in shaping case strategy, resolving disputes effectively and securing impactful outcomes for clients.
