Louisa Keech – Associate

I joined the firm in 2022, starting in Business Crime before moving to Fraud & Commercial Disputes. During my training, I worked on high-profile matters, including sanctions cases involving overseas lawyers and the FCDO and high-profile Commercial Court litigation, and I had lots of opportunities to go to Court. People here are leaders in their field and genuinely friendly and supportive. No question is too small, and they understand trainees are learning.

Direct contact with clients, barristers and other firms means you develop strong interpersonal skills quickly. In one client meeting, I saw how a partner put a nervous client completely at ease, which was a great lesson in communication beyond pure legal work.

The firm is also very sociable. With around 65 lawyers, it’s easy to get to know everyone, and there are regular events and after-work drinks. It’s a small, specialised, and fun place to work.

Brian McDonald – IT Director

I joined Peters & Peters as a general office assistant shortly after completing my A-Levels. It was a good, steady start, and six months later, the IT team was expanding.  I expressed an interest and was encouraged by the firm to pursue for my degree while working part time. From there, I gradually built-up experience, supported throughout by the firm’s strong commitment to training and development. Peters & Peters has played a significant role in shaping and supporting my higher education journey.

I’ve watched the firm grow and have always benefitted from its culture: friendly, upbeat, efficient, and genuinely supportive. The lawyers truly value the business professionals, there’s no ‘us and them’. Whether you’re in IT, Finance, Facilities, HR, the PA team, or Marketing, you’re treated as part of one team.

Here, you get the right mix of exposure, responsibility, and support to develop and progress in your role.

Yazmine Long – Senior Talent Development Advisor

When I was diagnosed with ADHD, I wanted to use that experience to help others better understand neurodiversity and the strengths it brings. From the start, my manager and the firm were supportive, they listened, adapted, and encouraged me to share my story. We’ve introduced initiatives to raise awareness and make the workplace more inclusive. It’s made me feel seen, valued, and proud to work somewhere that celebrates difference.

Caroline Mitchell – Personal Assistant 

I’m a PA at the firm and I’ve worked here for 27 years.  21 years ago, my daughter was born 3 months prematurely and she has been very sick ever since.  She has had to have multiple operations, hospital visits and treatments over the years. All the way through, Peters & Peters have been so understanding of my situation.  I’ve had to have a lot of time off work to support my daughter, and they’ve been flexible and accommodating every step of the way, even when I’ve needed time off at short notice.  The fact that I’m still here 27 years on says it all.  When you have a child that is sick, you have to put them first, but knowing my employer is understanding has made all the difference to me.
