Drawing on 15 years of experience, Peter guides and represents banks, private credit funds, and other non-bank lenders, as well as private equity firms and public and private companies, through a broad range of complex transactional matters, including secured and unsecured credit facilities, mergers and acquisitions, and other debt and equity investments.
Peter is particularly experienced in representing banks and other financial institutions across a variety of debt finance structures in connection with sponsor-backed acquisition transactions in the lower middle-market, including term loans, revolving lines of credit, delayed draw term loans for platform, unitranche (first out/last out) debt facilities, and traditional intercreditor arrangements. Peter also has experience advising Small Business Investment Companies (SBICs), Business Development Companies (BDCs), and other institutional mezzanine funds in debt and equity financings, including first lien, second lien, unsecured mezzanine, preferred, common, and strip equity co-investments, as well as warrant and other equity kickers.
Beyond his legal practice, Peter is committed to public service and currently serves as chair of the board of ArtSpace, a non-profit visual arts center located in Downtown Raleigh focused on creating positive community impact through artist residencies, exhibitions, arts education, and community outreach.
Prior to practicing in North Carolina, Peter was an associate at an international law firm in Chicago.
