Peter’s litigation experience includes successfully defending clients against employment law class actions and wage and hour collective actions. Although Peter has tried a large number of cases, the majority of his cases have been won on summary judgement, settled early in his client’s best interest, or resolved cost-effectively in alternative dispute resolution procedures. Peter is an employment law “switch hitter” who will represent individuals who present compelling stories that call for workplace justice.

We partner with our clients’ in-house counsel, management, and HR departments to create solutions that address their unique business needs and legal requirements. Corporate Compliance, Risk Management + Ethics:

We work with companies of all sizes to achieve several goals. Using risk management, we help companies identify their legal risks. Next, we help them develop effective corporate compliance and ethics programs which address these risks in compliance with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations. In addition, we work with Boards of Directors to ensure that Board members fulfill their fiduciary duties, including their Caremark duty to oversee their companies’ corporate compliance and ethics programs. Finally, we work with executives to help them make good business decisions regarding their respective companies’ organizations and business strategies. The Workplace Investigator:

In the post-Sarbanes-Oxley era and in light of recent highly publicized cases involving sexual harassment and executive wrongdoing, defending against employee claims - including whistleblower claims - requires strategic counsel. We advise clients on how to develop effective complaint and internal reporting procedures. Where necessary, we conduct internal investigations of claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and employee misconduct, as well as an investigation of the breakdown in company policies and management 2

responsibility that produced such claims.
