    His experience includes giving advice on numerous investigations, market investigations and other regulatory inquiries. Peter has insight into the financial services sector where he has a long track record of advising on high profile competition issues and investigations including in relation to payment systems. He has also advised clients in the water sector on competition and regulatory matters.
