I started in a – somewhat Dickensian – City firm (no longer in existence). I came to Neves in 1984, since when I have enjoyed a hugely varied caseload – all involving disputed issues.

I stepped down as a partner of Neves in March 2022.

Peter is listed in the Legal 500 rankings for 2024.
Legal 500 testimonial ‘Peter Kelly has very wide experience, built up over a long career, of all types of commercial litigation. He is a go-to problem solver. He can pick up and effectively litigate cases that do not seem to fit into any obvious category, or that involve unusual points of law or procedure.’
Being recommended by Legal 500 provides clients with an independent assessment of our ability, gives a flavour of who we are and what sets us apart from other law firms.

I am currently involved in a number of disputes relating to disputed wills and estates, an expanding area of work. I am acting for a defendant in a multi-defendant million pound commercial claim in the High Court. My work encompasses debt recovery, breach of contract claims, injunctions, commercial and residential landlord and tenant, estate and probate related claims (including Inheritance Act claims), and land related disputes.
