What Clients Say About the Consultation
Roy Stewart
Modelling Agency Representation and Dispute Resolution
★★★★★
I can't recommend Peter and PAIL Solicitors highly enough. My daughter is a model who had become stuck in an exclusive agency contract she wanted out of, with the agency insisting she was tied in for another two years. We didn't really know where to turn, or whether it was even worth getting a solicitor involved.
From the very first consultation Peter clearly knew this area inside out. He specialises in media and entertainment work for models, talent and influencers, and it showed. He came properly prepared, and within one conversation we had far more clarity about where we stood than we'd had in weeks of worrying about it. He was completely upfront about costs, working to a clear fixed fee for the initial advice and then scoping and pricing each stage after that, so we always knew exactly what we were committing to and never felt pushed into spending more than we needed to.
What really stood out was how honest he was throughout, including telling us when we didn't need to spend money, which you don't always expect from a solicitor. When the agency ignored everything, he escalated firmly and professionally at exactly the right moment. The result speaks for itself. The agency backed down, confirmed my daughter is free to move on, removed her from their website and agreed they'll no longer deal with brands on her behalf.
If you're a model, performer or anyone in a similar position wondering whether it's worth taking that first step, it absolutely is. Fair, patient, straight talking and genuinely on your side.
Thank you, Peter.

What Clients Say About the Consultation
Vincenzo Fiorello
Legal Consultation
★★★★★
“I booked a fixed-fee consultation on consumer terms and data protection for a small UK company. Peter read a large pack in advance, was precise about what the law requires and honest about what we did not need to do. He explained cancellation rights and GDPR questions in plain English and put everything in a clear written summary afterwards. Good value for a start-up.”
