Leading West End law firm Seddons GSC has announced the expansion of its Dispute Resolution team with the arrival of partner Peter Ames.
Peter joins from Adams & Remers LLP, where he was the Deputy Head of the litigation group, bringing over 20 years’ experience operating across high value and complex disputes. His work has spanned UK and cross-border mandates across sectors including finance, technology and communications, insurance and a range of service industries for a client base of FTSE 100 and international companies, regulatory bodies, and high-net-worth individuals.
Peter acts for both claimants and defendants at all stages of litigation. His practice encompasses a broad range of commercial and financial litigation matters, including complex and high value commercial disputes, trust and fraud disputes, professional negligence, insurance, and construction disputes.
Commenting on his arrival at Seddons GSC, Peter Ames said, “I am delighted to be joining Seddons GSC at an exciting stage in the firm’s development. Seddons GSC’s Dispute Resolution team combines deep technical expertise with a pragmatic and commercially-focused approach, which closely reflects the way I work with my clients. I look forward to collaborating with colleagues across the firm, supporting clients on complex UK and cross-border matters and contributing to the continued growth of the practice.”
Christian Smith, Head of Dispute Resolution at Seddons GSC said, “Peter is an excellent addition to our team. His depth of experience across complex commercial and financial disputes, combined with his proven leadership skills and strong client focus, will further strengthen our ability to support clients on their most challenging matters.”
Peter’s appointment follows the arrival of Partner Ben Marks and Consultant David Seal to its Residential and Commercial Real Estate teams, and the launch of the firm’s Financial Crime practice in January 2026 with the arrival of partner Frances Murray.
