Peter Arnold is a specialist in Criminal and Regulatory work, but uses his knowledge gained in other areas to supplement his specialities. A long period of appearing in motoring cases has given him a deep understanding of this niche area.
In the early years, he undertook a wide variety work in different areas – Crime, Family, Employment and Personal Injury.
For over 25 years, Peter has practiced in serious criminal cases. These have spanned a wide range of issues, but more recently he has been briefed in heavy fraud, complex serious crime and the gravest sexual cases. He is widely acknowledged as one of the top cross-examiners around. Please see his Regulatory CV for his extensive work in representing police officers and other professionals in tribunal hearings.
