In 1980, Peter started working in Jersey property law with Le Masurier, Giffard & Poch, which firm in February, 1995, merged with Ogier & Le Cornu to form the firm now known as Ogier.
Peter’s initial introduction to Jersey property law was to train and work as a conveyancing clerk (predominantly doing residential conveyancing) which involved learning the essential skills of checking title, conducting site visits and drafting conveyancing contracts.
In 1985, Peter qualified as an Advocate of the Royal Court of Jersey and in 1987, became a partner at Le Masurier, Giffard & Poch retiring as a partner of Ogier in February, 2013, prior a spell living in the UK.
