WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Pete is an expert in his field; I always feel better after speaking with him."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"My approach to client service focuses on pragmatism and empathy. Businesses are run by people, and what works for one person may not work for others, even within a given client. My aim is to provide clear, actionable advice that helps build consensus within a client’s leadership about how to achieve business goals while managing antitrust and litigation risk."
