Peter Critikos is a commercial litigator in the firm’s Atlanta office who represents corporate and individual clients in complex business disputes. In his civil practice, he frequently represents clients in matters involving breach of contract, product defects, fraud, misappropriation of trade secrets, indemnification, unfair competition, breach of fiduciary duty, and business torts. Peter also has significant experience litigating qui tam matters under the False Claims Act and sale of goods cases under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code and the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
Clients turn to Peter because he is a problem solver. In many disputes, clients know they have been wronged or are facing unjust claims, but the complexity of the issues and scattered nature of the information make it difficult to identify the full story, let alone explain it to a court or jury. Peter’s strength lies in gathering, digesting, and distilling large volumes of information to uncover what happened and develop persuasive litigation strategies. He regularly works with organizations of all sizes to identify and collect key sources of information, conduct witness interviews, analyze documentary and electronic evidence, and collaborate with technical and industry experts. By connecting facts that may initially appear isolated or unrelated, Peter helps clients build strong claims, defend against allegations, and navigate complex litigation with confidence. His ability to turn complexity into clarity allows decision-makers to understand not only what happened, but why it matters.
Peter is committed to understanding each client’s business objectives, risk tolerances, and litigation goals. He provides practical, tailored solutions designed not only to achieve successful legal outcomes but also to support the client’s broader business and personal objectives. Clients rely on Peter as a trusted advisor who can navigate complex disputes, manage risk, and bring order to challenging situations so they can remain focused on what matters most.
