For more than 30 years, Peter has been a go-to litigator for commercial businesses facing high-stakes financial disputes. As Co-Chair of Maynard Nexsen’s Securities and Financial Services Practice, he represents brokerage houses, issuers, and underwriters nationwide in litigation and regulatory matters brought by customers, employees, competitors, regulators, purchasers, and shareholders, handling cases in more than thirty states and territories and taking over 100 matters to trial or arbitration.

Clients count on Peter not just for his litigation record, but for how he works with them: “The key to good client service is to listen first, talk second. Not all clients are the same, and not all have the same goals.” That client-first approach has earned Peter recognition as a BTI Client Service All-Star in 2022, 2024, 2025, and now 2026.
