Peter Woolf
Partner and head of the matrimonial financial department
| Specialist areas: | High value divorce settlements including the division of business assets and pensions. |
| Ideal for: | People in the process of a divorce or separation where the joint assets amount to £1,000,000 or more. |
| Background: | Peter has over 30 years’ experience as a lawyer and joined Berg Legal in 1984. He is a frequent commentator in the national and regional press and on the radio. He is a member of Resolution, the family law association. |
| We say: | A shrewd negotiator with a realistic approach. |
| Best piece of advice: | ‘Too many divorcing partners are more concerned about doing harm to their ex than ensuring that their own future is secure and comfortable. Focus on what is best for your future and how you will achieve it; whether that is good or bad for your ex-spouse should be irrelevant.’ |
| Outside of work: | Peter is a Manchester City supporter and is a frequent traveller, having having visited Peru, Bolivia, Zanzibar, Tanzania and many other countries across the world. |
| Likes: | Psychedelia - in particular the psychedelic art of 1967, rock music and Chinese philately, especially the Mao Tse Tung era. |
