This change reflects our evolution from a traditional law firm to a solution-based, legal services
partner who listens to, communicates with and provides real value to our clients.
Before we elaborate on our future direction, we would like to share our journey so far.
Our History
Sean Peters established Peters Lawyers in Leumeah in 2001. Sean and his wife Nicole created a strong and well-respected brand through their tireless work ethic, legal acumen, warmth, generosity and compassion for their loyal clients.
After two decades of running the practice, and the birth of his first grandchild, Sean decided to take a step back.
From 1 March 2024, Lachlan Gelder became the new owner of Peters Lawyers and relocated to Picton.
About Lachlan
With over 30 years’ experience in commercial, retail, and residential property law, Lachlan has built a
reputation for providing commercial, strategic and high-quality legal solutions.
His vast experience spans a range of industries, allowing him to guide clients through the intricacies of legal
challenges with clarity, precision, and a clear focus on his clients’ actual needs.
Lachlan’s previous roles have been:
Westfield Shopping Centre/Scentre Group – General Manager, Australia & New Zealand (13 years)
Marsdens Law Group – Partner (17 years)
Peters Lawyers – Principal (1 year)
Gelder Peters Law – Principal & Director (from March 2025)
At the heart of Lachlan’s approach is a profound commitment to the client, the team, and the community.
Lachlan firmly believes in the strength of long-term connected relationships – whether with clients, colleagues,
or cross-industry associates within the broader community.
This sense of connection drives the firm’s philosophy of providing not only expert legal advice and high-quality
legal solutions but also deeper non-legal opportunities that provide real value beyond the traditional practice of
Law.
Our Future
We do not wish to be a traditional vertical law firm (a firm that practices in every area of law).
We are very clear on our areas of expertise and the direction we are heading. This is our strength and where we can
add optimum value to you as your trusted legal advisor.
Whilst we wil continue to grow and evolve our services in these areas through technology, higher learning and

providers (external to our firm) to verticaly cater for al your legal, business and personal needs.
