"When GVK insourced all major project development contracts, Peter took over the coal sales, rail haulage, port capacity and mining services contract streams (with individual contract values up to DKK 4.5bn) near solo from a top tier law firm team. Peter was efficient & reliable and worked in an orderly and clear way. Peter also negotiated and closed intensive debt and equity adviser engagements with top tier banks and took care of airport leasing, approvals negotiation and other complex commercial deals. He is a rare adviser with the experience to properly deal with any commercial law matter."
