It has been my pleasure to work with Mr. J. Peter Rich. His extensive knowledge within the Healthcare Industry has been extremely helpful to myself and the organizations for which we have been associated with. I would reccommend Mr. J. Peter Rich to other clients in the future should they require... timely and responsive legal expertise.

Based on several engagements

Peter Rich protected the client very well with great advice and skilled negotiating techniques. He was also quick to bring resources to the engagement that helped us meet sharp deadlines. He did not guess when a question was given that was outside of his specialty and quickly found an appropriate a...rea subject expert.

Multiple client of Peter's and his firm

I have engaged Peter on two major legal projects, both of which were venture capital-backed start-up firms. On both occasions the projects were large enough and broad enough to require Peter to bring in others from his firm to properly and cost-effectively assist me in completion of our needed tasks.... Peter has 3 unique qualities that keep me coming back. 1. He is personally brilliant and his personal knowledge of health care law is incomparable, in my opinion. 2. He understands that his clients need rapid work as well as quality work and his ability to communicate progress and to brainstorm steps is outstanding. 3. His choices of who to involve from his firm are always right on, bringing in top talent when needed and then moving them back out when no longer needed. My overall feelings are that I can't imagine taking on a large operational leadership project without engaging Peter.
