Peter advises a broad spectrum of clients, working primarily with institutions, private equity and opportunity funds, property companies and pension funds. He also acts for a number of developers, particularly in the context of mixed-use schemes.
Major professional directories in the UK have described Peter as ". . . excellent at keeping his eye on the ball." Characterised as "'hard working, thorough and a bit of a bruiser,' [Peter] is a hit with clients and appreciated because 'he personally deals with what he says he'll deal with and won't pass it on.'" The 2007 edition of Chambers UK notes that "Peter Sugden's loyal clients appreciate the fact that 'he personally deals with what he says he will deal with' and is 'efficient and technically excellent' by all accounts." In 2005, Chambers UK listed Peter as a Leading Individual in the category of Real Estate - Larger Deals. He is highly regarded, as well, in the UK Legal 500 directory (2004). Peter has been noted as a leading property investment attorney, in part for his work in advising Green Property during the �400 million sale to Burford Holdings of its entire UK portfolio.
