Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- 'As the co-founder of several businesses in different sectors over the past 20 years, I've had the good fortune of working with over 20 law firms and over 50 different lawyers. I learned a long time ago that it's not the name of the firm that matters most, it's the lawyer with whom you are working. I've been involved with many M&A deals and Peter ranks near the top in terms of both (1) his understanding of the subject matter and (2) his customer service. One would never know if Peter is working on 1 deal or 10 deals as he always makes it appear that your deal is a priority.'
- 'I have worked on several completed, in process, and incomplete deal processes with Peter and he consistently exceeds expectations. He is a valuable member of our external diligence partners and a go to resource for my firm's deals. A few key attributes for Peter as follows: He has the ability to find common ground in difficult deal negotiation points so that all parties find an appropriate position, but still knows when to give on an item or remain steady with our firm's position. All the while, maintaining a professional decorum with opposing team counsel - he is able to lead his team members by example by putting the time in as required to ensure that timelines and deliverable are accomplished.'
