The Peter Clark Prize

Peter Clark

1947 - 2010

Dawson Cornwell are proud to be sponsors of the Peter Clark Prize. This prize is awarded annually to the best family law student at the College of Law, London.

The award given to the winning student is £2,000, together with the opportunity of a two-week internship at Dawson Cornwell.

The prize was established in honour of Peter Clark, a partner at Dawson Cornwell from 1993 until his death on 12th April 2010.

Peter was the driving force behind Practical Matrimonial Precedents published by Sweet & Maxwell; the leading family law precedent book. His intelligence, attention to detail and his drafting skills, combined with the constructive and conciliatory approach he adopted, served as an example to all as to how family law should be practiced.

The prize is funded by Dawson Cornwell and Peter’s family and friends.
