Peter is an excellent lawyer, mediator and mentor. I worked with Peter in the same team for over 4.5 years and found him to be an excellent lawyer with a huge amount of experience both in commercial law as well as litigation. One quality I really admired in Peter was his high standards of ethical and professional conduct in dealing with not only his own clients but the opposing party. I also found he has immense respect of other lawyers, regardless of seniority. Peter ‘always’ does his utmost best for his clients and goes the extra mile as far as client service is concerned. A pragmatic and lateral thinker, always surrounded by the team at Smith & Partners as well his long standing clients who appreciated the value in his selfless advice, to come up with long lasting solutions be it a business deal or dispute resolution option. Peter is an early bird and I found him without fail for the time that I was at the firm, bright and early and always cheerful and raring to go. It was a real blast working for him and the firm. I personally strived on this positive attitude and achieved planned milestones whist under his pupilage. I witnessed firsthand how Peter delivered excellent results for his clients, made clients so comfortable no matter how daunting the task may have been. Peter from what I understand, almost singlehandedly set up the firm over a decade ago and being on my own, I truly appreciate the effort he would have put in to achieve such a remarkable result. A true ‘Westy’, gentleman cowboy in his social time. I still remember and often share a story with my wife of how one morning, as I passed his office, he called out my name loudly whilst greeting me ‘good morning’ and said something along the following line,
