Peter Belshaw

Peter has an unquestionable wealth of knowledge and years of valuable experience built up over decades of practising law in all aspects of private family law. His expertise focuses on high value financial and property issues following divorce and separation as well as children disputes, particularly with difficult relocation and international relocation disagreements.

As a long standing member of Resolution, his first approach is to take the lead in constructive discussion and negotiation aiming where possible  to reach as amicable a settlement as possible. If a negotiated agreement doesn’t prove possible however, clients can rely on his thorough case preparation and advocacy skills in court.

When asked what they appreciated most about Peter’s advice clients often highlight the ease with which he quickly grasps the issues that are most important to them, his clear commitment to finding the solution they want and his skill in achieving that solution.

In addition, Peter advises and represents professional clients such as doctors and teachers in dispute with their regulatory bodies as well as businesses and individuals in complex litigation disputes.

Because he is a skilled advocate with additional “Higher Rights” , in many cases Peter can save his clients the expense of instructing a separate barrister.

Clients come to Peter and indeed come back to him time and time again trusting in his judgement and legal expertise.
