About Peter
Biography
Peter J. Pizzi is a business litigator with over 30 years of experience in commercial litigation, class action defense, internal investigations, internet and IP litigation, and labor and employment law. He has handled matters on behalf of corporate clients in a broad array of industries, including pharmaceuticals, finance services, computer technology, cosmetics, industrial equipment, and food service. Recent highlights include Peter’s pre-discovery dismissals of a $12 million suit seeking to enforce a Venezuelan corporate guaranty against a corporate officer, a putative consumer class action against a retailing client over the portion sizing of its beverage offerings, and another putative class action against a private aviation firm regarding its pricing practices. He also has lead teams conducting internal investigations on behalf of large public companies.
In addition, Peter has distinguished himself in the field of technology law, regularly lecturing at CLE programs on technology law, writing on cutting-edge issues—such as privacy and cybersecurity, content piracy, and e-discovery—for an array of journals, and consulted by news media for insight regarding technology-related topics. In addition to holding the CIPP/US certification from the International Assocation of Privacy Professionals, he is the incoming Chair of the Technology Committee of the International Association of Defense Counsel.
Peter has been designated a Certified Civil Trial Attorney by the Supreme Court of New Jersey, and was most recently re-certified in 2016.

Mr. Pizzi is very knowledgable and effective, and makes every effort to ensure court action is not taken unless it is financially viable for the plaintiff.
