About Peter A. Hertz

Businesses and municipalities turn to Peter A. Hertz, a partner in the Civil Litigation Group at Duncan, Linton LLP in Waterloo, for help with construction law, municipal questions and debtor and creditor issues. Peter belongs to the Ontario Expropriation Association, and has appeared for clients before the Ontario Municipal Board.

Sport is a big part of life outside the office for Peter, whether that means playing a game, coaching one, watching one or just talking about it. Peter's hometown is Kenora, Ontario, and Peter has coached football in Waterloo at both the high school and minor league level.

Law school was at the University of Alberta, where Peter finished in 2008 with distinction and first class standing and picked up two prizes, after an honours arts degree at Wilfrid Laurier University. Prosecution runs through Peter's career: by-law prosecutions and appeals for several municipalities, and, before that, provincial offence prosecutions on behalf of Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General.
