Peter's legal expertise shines in the realm of commercial and construction litigation, where he champions the rights of owners, contractors, and subcontractors entangled in disputes from grand construction and engineering ventures. He's adept at tackling issues such as contract breaches, work deficiencies, delays, liquidated damages, warranty concerns, and tendering disputes, showcasing his versatile litigation skills.

Arbitration is another area where Peter excels, boasting substantial experience in both international and domestic spheres. His courtroom presence is notable, having represented clients in the Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, the Court of Appeal, and even the Supreme Court of Canada.

On the practical side, Peter has been the go-to counsel for complex disputes, such as the design and build of a major ring road project in southern Alberta and a $1 billion sour gas processing plant arbitration in northern Canada. His legal guidance was also sought in a multimillion-dollar infrastructure project in Calgary, underlining his critical role in shaping Alberta's landscape.

Peter's thought leadership extends to the legal community through presentations and publications. He's shared insights on alternative dispute resolutions and navigated the complexities of construction delay claims amidst a pandemic, contributing to the discourse on construction law and arbitration practices.

His commitment to professional excellence is recognized widely, with accolades from The Best Lawyers in Canada®, The Canadian Legal Lexpert® Directory, and Benchmark Canada, among others. Peter's dedication is also evident in his volunteer work and his active participation in legal societies, underscoring his commitment to both the legal profession and the community.
