SKILLS
ABOUT PETER B.
I\'m a commercial lawyer with over a decade of experience advising on a wide range of business, legal and regulatory matters. I am currently Legal Counsel (Commercial) at Mutual Marketplace, a shared services organisation jointly owned by People First Bank and Great Southern Bank. In this role, I advise internal stakeholders and external clients on commercial contracts, procurement, compliance, and risk strategies that support operational efficiency and long-term sustainability within the mutual banking sector.My legal career has been built on a foundation of deep commercial insight and stakeholder-focused problem solving. I regularly draft, negotiate and advise on a broad variety of contracts (including for IT, professional services, and personnel), and have supported clients with business structuring, leasing, buying and selling businesses, and dispute resolution. I also contribute to governance, stakeholder engagement, and regulatory compliance, with a particular interest in financial services obligations, data security, and privacy law.I was admitted to practice in South Australia in 2015 and hold a Bachelor of Laws and Legal Practice and Master of Laws (International Law and International Relations) from Flinders University. I also hold a Bachelor of Business (International Business) and Bachelor of Arts (International Studies) from the University of South Australia.My approach is grounded, commercial and collaborative—helped by a prior career in both the Oil & Gas sector (as a corporate responsibility advisor) in Canada and in disability employment services here in South Australia. These experiences gave me valuable insights into for-profit and not-for-profit business operations and what they need from their legal advisers.Outside of work, I\'m a proud dad of two young boys, and enjoy spending time with family and friends, gardening, travelling, cooking, going to the footy (AFL), and exploring South Australia\'s regions.
