Peter is noted in Chambers as being "great value" and "really understands the job and just gets on with it". Client comments include: "It would be invidious to list the many tasks and challenges that have been over-come with the help of your team, but it should be recorded that your leadership, commitment and professionalism not just in a legal advisor role but also as an experienced project leader, not to mention your ability to work late and be available for consultations with a stressed Procurement Director, have played a major part in the successful completion of contract signing." "With Peter McCormack it is his commercial acumen. Peter is a very clever guy who added a lot of value in some of the key commercial parts of the contract."
