His clients include well-pedigreed managers launching their first funds and some of the largest veteran hedge fund managers. Having previously served as the General Counsel and Chief Operating Officer of a buy-side firm, Peter has a unique understanding of his clients’ goals and the nature of their interactions with investors, regulators, auditors, administrators, employees and outside counsel.
He also has particular experience in insider trading determinations, including the purchase, analysis, and use of alternative data.
Peter serves on the Board of Directors of the Managed Funds Association (MFA), the voice of the global alternative asset management industry.
Business Insider recognized Peter as one of “the 29 bankers, advisers, and lawyers to know if you’re thinking about starting your own hedge fund.”
He is recognized as a leading investment funds lawyer for his work in the hedge funds space by Chambers USA, Chambers Global and The Legal 500 US with clients stating that “he is the lawyer that I rely most heavily on and he is a really good resource for commercial legal advice” and “an exceptional lawyer” who “combines an excellent business sense with a strong legal background.”
Peter is also the chair of the Board of Directors of The Acceleration Project, a woman-founded, woman-led nonprofit providing consulting services to empower under-resourced entrepreneurs in order to create a more inclusive economy while channeling talent back into the economy.
