Peter Martin

Consultant

Accepting new clients via ReviewSolicitors

Peter is one of the most experienced family lawyers you will find. With over 45 years at the sharp end of family law, he brings a depth of knowledge and a steadiness of judgement that is genuinely rare. Qualifying in 1978 and joining Osmond Gaunt & Rose, and over the decades, built a practice that spans the full spectrum of family work. He has always believed that there are better ways to resolve family issues than the Court. He was one of the first solicitors in the country to train as a family mediator, over 30 years ago; trained as a Collaborative Family Lawyer; and continues to be the Chief Assessor for Law Society Family Law Panel examinations. His areas of work included all aspects of relationship breakdown and divorce, mediation and collaborative family law, nuptial agreements, and children’s matters, including Child Abduction matters and was one of the founders of the Chilad Abduction Lawyers Association. He is also one of the very few solicitors in the country with specialist experience in Anglo-Swedish family law — a niche that reflects both the breadth of his career and the international reach of the clients who seek him out. He has led mediation in disputes involving assets exceeding £15 million and has successfully navigated some of the most complex and emotionally charged cases imaginable. He became a Consultant at Orwins in 2020. As a Consultant, he is now semi-retired; concentrating on his Mediation work and Anglo-Swedish family issues

Knowledgeable and helpful

I called Peter regarding a passport and immigration matter. He was invaluable, and because of his advice, I had sorted the issue out within a few days. I did not need to spend any unnecessary time or money on solving this. We did not need to proceed beyond the initial enquiry call.

Helpful, courteous and kind

I contacted Peter for an initial consultation over zoom. He was kind, courteous and very helpful. It turned out I needed to contact a Swedish firm to pursue my enquiries further and Peter kindly sent me his own recommendations and contacts as first ports of call. I was very grateful for his advice and his genuine kindness.

I owe you a great debt of gratitude for the kind, helpful, empathic way you dealt with me and went about your business at  a  time in my life  when I was suffering huge emotional pain.  

I did not really understand what was happening to me  but you did, and your advice was invaluable.

I would be pleased to recommend him.

I obtained a second opinion from Peter Martin on several matters where my existing solicitor had been failing in both service and explanation of the status with my divorce case, and a brief review of the way forward for applying for probate in respect of my late mothers estate . I found Peter to be extremely knowledgeable and straight to the point. The advice given has probably saved me further expense and valuable time, and has clarified my position in respect of a formal complaint against my divorce case solicitor. I would be pleased to recommend him.
