Spear’s Review

Peter Burgess, who founded Burgess Mee with his business partner, Antonia Mee, in 2013, was enjoying a year of High Court matters and HNW cases until Covid-19 swept the globe.

But in the world of family law, the unprecedented situation threw up new challenges. He predicted that social distancing measures could see divorces increase: divorce rates in England and Wales increased by 9.6% in 2021 according to the Office for National Statistics.

Pandemic aside, Burgess excels in trust matters, capacity issues and wives with controlling spouses. ‘I seem to collect specialisms as the years go by,’ he muses.
