David Peer's practice is focused on commercial transactions, particularly with respect to software-as-a-service, artificial intelligence, and data privacy. David represents some of today's most promising technology start-ups and handles a broad array of legal work on their behalf, including drafting template sales contracts, negotiating customer contracts, reviewing vendor agreements, and providing counsel with respect to strategic partnerships. David is also well versed with respect to data-privacy regulations, especially the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other U.S. regulations. David drafts privacy policies, reviews data protection agreements, and provides guidance to assist his clients in their data-privacy compliance efforts.

David has a unique ability to quickly familiarize himself with new subject matters and to communicate highly-technical material in an easily digestible manner. He uses these strengths to better understand his clients’ businesses and to arm his clients with the legal context necessary for them to make fully-informed decisions.

Prior to founding Peer & Hart, David worked in WilmerHale’s patent litigation group, helping to represent some of the largest corporations in the world in high-stakes litigation. David has also litigated cases involving breach of contract, land-use, wrongful termination, and wage & hour claims. While David no longer practices litigation, his earlier experience gives him a unique perspective among transactional attorneys, allowing him to structure deals and policies that minimize the risk of future litigation.

In addition to spending time with his family, David enjoys playing music, skiing, and surfing.
