He has appeared before every level of court in Ontario, as well as the Supreme Court of Canada. Peter has been named as one of Canada’s leading practitioners in Employment Law by The Canadian Legal Lexpert Directory every year since 1998, as well as by The Lexpert/American Lawyer Guide to the Leading 500 Lawyers in Canada. He has also been listed in the National Post – Best Lawyers in Canada and is a recipient of Martindale-Hubbell's highest rating, AV, for his skills, integrity, and reputation since their inception in Canada. He is the 2014 recipient of the Randall Echlin Mentorship Award. Peter has commenced a mediation practice as Mediator.
