He represents plaintiffs and defendants in complex commercial disputes throughout the country in the retail, tech, finance, energy, and manufacturing sectors, involving claims of breach of contract, fraud, trade secret misappropriation, negligence, and violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA). Specifically Peter has extensive experience representing franchisors. He has litigated against the Department of Labor and Small Business Administration on behalf of a national franchise system in cases involving employment misclassification and the issuance of loans from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

They appreciate his pragmatism and his ability to view litigation, or potential litigation, as a business dispute in search of a business solution. Peter is also known for his immediacy and accessibility when it comes to responding to client phone calls, emails and texts.
