The team advises on all areas of family law, particularly private children issues and cases with high value financial claims often spanning multiple jurisdictions and involving complex company structures

A new boutique divorce and family law practice has opened its offices in Mayfair, London. It will offer its services in the Greater London, Kent and Surrey. 

Law partners Juliette Peters and Jessica May have opened the doors to Peters May, a family law firm which will offer services in the following areas: divorce, children, finances, same sex relationships, prenuptial agreements, postnuptial agreements and unmarried relationships. 

The new firm’s co-founders have a client list which includes high net worth individuals, those working in the sports and entertainment industries, business owners and entrepreneurs.  

Together, the team advises on all areas of family law, particularly private children issues and cases with high value financial claims often spanning multiple jurisdictions and involving complex company structures.  Peters is also a Guernsey Advocate.

May and Peters have over 35 years’ combined experience and a wealth of expertise on advising in complex, high net worth and multi-jurisdictional cases. The pair met whilst working together at London law firm Howard Kennedy, where Peters was a partner.  The firm then went on to merge with CKFT Solicitors, where May was practicing.  Prior to working at Howard Kennedy, Peters assisted divorce lawyer Raymond Tooth for many years advising on family cases.  Both Peters and May left Howard Kennedy in 2016. Peters joined Shoosmiths as a partner in its London family department whilst May took a short career break to raise her family before consulting for law firm family practices in London.
