Practice Areas

Some of the world’s largest commercial banks, investment companies, and financial sponsors have relied on Peter for his counsel in a wide variety of financing transactions, including fully underwritten acquisition financings, reserve-based and asset-based credit facilities, institutional terms loans, general corporate financings, refinancings, debtor-in-possession credit facilities and exit financings.

Clients leverage Peter’s substantial transactional experience to negotiate, document and consummate significant financings across many industries; however, his extensive involvement in financing transactions focusing on the U.S domestic oil and gas exploration & production, midstream and related services sectors, combined with his background as an independent landman, are hallmarks of his practice.

Peter has served clients including JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of Montreal, PNC, Capital One, KKR, Blackstone, Riverstone, and Southwire.
