Our History
Peter Wilson Legal was founded in 2012 and is based in London with clients both within the UK and internationally. We are a niche regulatory and dispute resolution practice. We focus on several business sectors and specific areas of regulatory law bringing more than 35 years of experience. We have conducted many civil and criminal hearings on behalf of clients and have dealt with a wide range of regulators in the UK including HM Revenue & Customs, the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Gambling Commission, the Environment Agency, the Food Standards Agency, Trading Standards, the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, and others. We have also dealt with several foreign regulators, particularly in the gambling sector.
Our Values
Our approach is to provide calm, objective, and clear advice whatever the circumstances. We are committed and loyal to our clients and we value fairness, transparency, and mutual respect. We believe in making ourselves readily available, responding promptly, communicating effectively, and doing so personally. We always aim to give firm practical advice.
Our approach to disputes and investigations
With many years of dealing with disputes and litigation, we know that taking the formal route is not always the best solution. If we can, we aim to resolve matters before they end up in court. Its not always possible when facing allegations of criminal offences but even then our aim is to use all efforts to avoid charges, which is obviously better than taking your chances in a trial.
Our approach to advisory work
We see ourselves as consultants and board level advisors not just people who quote the law. Using our experience of working with businesses in many industry sectors and having run businesses ourselves, we have much to offer. We really enjoy learning about the operation of businesses and what drives the owners, directors and stakeholders. We feel this helps us give more useful, practical and realistic advice.
