Client comments about Peter include:
- Peter is outstanding in his client care. He has assisted on a number of significant matters
for us recently and has devoted his complete attention and care to the task each time.
He has never failed to be available. He is consistent, reliable and I know that he will
always do an excellent job. - Everyone here really appreciates your style, people find you really easy to
work with, and they trust your counsel. I would go as far as to say it has changed (in
an entirely positive way!) the preconceptions many of the team had about using external
lawyers. - Peter doesn’t just answer the question given to him but he thinks beyond this and
uses his knowledge to provide valuable advice and challenge us. He thinks strategically and helps to influence the business to consider risks and make informed and rational decisions.
Peter's experience includes advising:
- a major aerospace OEM upon its global maintenance, repair and overhaul arrangements and engine component supply chain
- an industrial client on a significant 400 FTE engineering services outsourcing
- Croda plc on the terms under which it supplies critical components of various Covid-19 vaccines
- American Express on its credit card partnership agreement with the International Airline Group, including British Airways
- a major high street bank on global facilities management and capital projects outsourcings
- a major high street bank on pensions administration and mortgage valuation outsourcings
