Peter has built a distinguished career through his adept handling of complex personal injury cases and significant property loss claims. Upon joining Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP in its Huntsville office, Peter hit the ground running and completed eight trials at the Superior Court of Justice in his first three years at the firm, including second-chairing back-to-back trials on several occasions. Peter has enjoyed particular success in his property damage and negligent construction cases, several of which, affirmed on appeal, have helped clarify the law in these fields, including Tokarz v Selwyn (Township), 2022 ONCA 246 and Breen v Lake of Bays (Township), 2022 ONCA 626.

In addition to his legal prowess, Peter is known for his collaborative approach and dedication to client service. While certainly not shy of the courtroom, Peter works hard to find creative and collaborative resolutions where appropriate. Peter also speaks regularly at conferences and has shared his experiences and insights regarding advocacy in an online forum, municipal liability, and title insurance coverage. His partnership with Davidson Cahill Morrison LLP will undoubtedly enhance our capabilities and strengthen our commitment to providing top-tier legal representation. We are excited to welcome Peter to our team and look forward to the significant contributions he will make to our firm and our clients.
