Peter M. Vetere

His finely honed legal acumen is the result of his strong fundamental skills – research, writing, procedure, and e-discovery – combined with deep knowledge of environmental law, real estate, and business litigation. He prides himself on knowing civil procedure rules, as well as strong writing and research. The foundation of Pete’s strong legal representation is knowing the law, communicating it to the judge, and having a strategic plan in place to reach his clients’ goals.

Before joining Burns & Levinson, Pete was an associate at the environmental firm Mackie Shea Durning, P.C., and before that was at a commercial litigation firm, Arrowood LLP, gaining experience in complex civil litigation. Additionally, he clerked in the Land Court Department of the Massachusetts Trial Court for the Hon. Harry M. Grossman on matters involving real property and zoning issues. Pete also assisted staff in the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Waste Site Cleanup with drafting a grant application for brownfield assessment funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“Every case is a puzzle to solve. Some are harder than others, but the best feeling is finding the right solution for the client.”
