When our company faced a high-stakes breach of contract dispute with a former supplier, the situation was legally complex and threatened significant financial and reputational damage. We engaged Peter Cheun at Skadden based on his recognition in commercial litigation, and the decision was instrumental. Peter’s deep understanding of contract law and procedural strategy, honed over nearly a decade of practice, was immediately evident. He meticulously dissected the agreement and our counterparty’s actions, crafting a defense that was both aggressive and strategically sound. His calm, methodical approach under pressure was reassuring. Furthermore, his firm’s global resources were seamlessly leveraged when we discovered the dispute had potential immigration consequences for key personnel, an area where Peter is also recognized. He navigated both fronts with exceptional skill, resulting in a highly favorable settlement that protected our interests completely. Peter’s professionalism, expertise from Chicago-Kent, and ability to manage intersecting legal issues make him an invaluable asset. We have the utmost confidence in his counsel.
