Peter has been on a variety of Government committees shaping the private client offering in Gibraltar and sat on the Government’s Personal Residency Offering Group, which was tasked with considering and evaluating the personal residency offering available in Gibraltar.

He also co-authored chapters relating to trusts and succession planning as well as the administration of trusts for Tottel Publishing.
