Peter Steele commenced working as a Solicitor at Peninsula Law in 2016 and became a partner in 2019. His main practice areas include Personal Injury Law, Commercial and Business Law, Civil Litigation, Wills and Estates, Planning and Business Advice.
With a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science and Law, Peter commenced his career as a Software Developer and Systems Analyst, primarily for the NSW Government Insurance and Workers Compensation Agencies. He spent almost a decade working with many of the NSW State Insurance and Workers Compensation Agencies that support the Personal Injury Sector, including Workcover, SIRA, SafeWork, Workers Compensation Commission (WCC), Motor Accidents Authority (MAA), WIRO (now IRO) and Dust Disease Board (DDB).
Fifteen years later, Peter transitioned into practicing as a Solicitor full-time. His father, David Steele, was a founding partner of Peninsula Law and he grew up around the business. This ignited his desire to work in law from a very young age and there was never a question in his mind that he wanted to one day work alongside his father at Peninsula Law.
Peter believes, “Peninsula Law has succeeded on the Central Coast for so many years because of the way it treats its clients and the results it generates for those clients. The firm's Partners, Solicitors and support staff are all genuine, honest and hardworking, which makes our clients come back for their future legal needs and also promotes positive referrals from these clients.
In many situations we are serving the third generation of the same family because of the trust and goodwill we have built up within that family. We pride ourselves on keeping our clients updated throughout their matters which is always very much appreciated. We have a proven track record for securing the best possible legal outcomes for our clients.”
Peter was born and raised on the Central Coast. He attended Copacabana Primary School and Gosford High School before attending Macquarie University and the University of England to get to where he is today. When he is not fulfilling his duties as a partner at Peninsula Law, Peter enjoys spending time with his family and is engrossed in playing sports such as rugby union, golf and athletics. Peter is part of Avoca Beach Rugby Club as both a player and a coach and has been involved with the Rugby club for over 20 years.
As a proud local within our community, Peter also gives time to community legal programs such as the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Will Week and the Salvation Army Will Day. He is also a founding member of the Wild Fig Service Alliance, an alliance of skilled local business people working together to deliver service excellence and benefits to the community on the Central Coast.
