About Me

Mr. Glantz is a transactional attorney and litigator of commercial cases. He spent the first half of his legal career as a litigator defending corporations, directors, officers and other professionals in commercial disputes in a wide array of areas including professional malpractice, partnership disputes, general commercial torts, breach of contract litigation, director and officer litigation, trademark, copyright and domain name disputes, breach of restrictive covenants, as well as regulatory actions. In 2006, Mr. Glantz was named General Counsel to Domain Capital, LLC, the first and only financial services company to offer financing to businesses based on the inherent and recognized value of premium domain names. Mr. Glantz’s role gradually morphed into becoming General Counsel for the owner’s entire portfolio of companies and the entire family office. He adeptly transitioned into corporate transactional practice using his prior litigation experience to artfully draft contracts in order to keep his client away from costly and prolonged litigation. This philosophy has served Mr. Glantz well in private practice where he now serves as General Counsel to numerous businesses in a wide array of industries, including the very same family office that seeded the formation of PJG Legal years later in 2011.

Mr. Glantz received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Michigan concentrating in both Political Science and Communications in 1996 and his Juris Doctorate from Brooklyn Law School in 2000. While in law school, Mr. Glantz clerked for The Honorable Arthur D. Spatt, U.S. District Judge, Eastern District of New York where he was published in a Memorandum for Hon. Arthur Spatt regarding a downward departure from the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Mr. Glantz is a member of the New York State Bar and is admitted to practice before the Southern and Eastern District Courts sitting in the State of New York. He also holds his license to practice as in-house legal counsel in New Jersey. Mr. Glantz is listed in “Who’s Who in American Law” and other similar publications. He has an office in Westchester County and New York City and is married to the head of Investor Relations for a multi-billion-dollar real estate private equity fund. Into his 70’s, Peter’s father continues to exhibit the same work ethic as owner of a clothing manufacturing company; a similar work ethic he exhibited when he was eight years old sweeping floors and cleaning toilets for the Glantz family’s small luncheonette in the Bronx, New York.

In the News

Several matters I have handled received notoriety in the news, including the sale of the single most highly valued domain name in the history of the Internet as well as representing several entertainers and artists such as Carlos Suarez a/k/a “Spiff TV” in a matter also involving hip hop artists Meek Mill, William Roberts, III a/k/a Rick Ross and Maybach Music Group. I was in the news for representing actress Jennifer Esposito in a dispute involving her gluten-free bakery business. Most recently, I was involved with a transaction receiving notoriety when I closed on a joint venture for the buildout and development of a high performance computing data center formed to mine Bitcoin.

K.I.S.S.

My clients constantly remind to “keep it simple!” The law is complex. My job is to explain it to you in plain language via white glove personal services.

Long-Standing Relationships

Every relationship matters to me. I personally handle all legal matters. I free my clients up to operate their businesses by giving them peace of mind that someone they trust is handling their legal needs. I show my clients how a vast network of relationships can sometimes deliver the “informational intelligence” needed to give them an “edge” on their legal matters. Simply put, I pick up the phone when you call!

As a legal expert serving your “day-to-day” or “one-off” business or personal needs, I am expected to assume responsibility for having the answers whenever possible. However, honest jurisprudence is being able to admit that not having the answer is okay too. Being able to execute the professional responsibilities of analysis, comprehend facts, apply logic and sound rationale, and ultimately recommend a path of action that is most likely to attain client objectives to achieve an answer for clients is what I do. And I do that quite well!

That is not however all that my clients need, indeed, it is not even what they need most. Typically, they need an advisor, a counselor, and a close trusted friend and confidante – someone who is devoid of ambition, dispenses disinterested advice and who can tap into resources that others cannot. Having been taught at a very young age how to maintain and sustain long-term relationships, I pride myself on fulfilling this role and it is probably where my greatest value is delivered. This is also the area where the legal profession has veered away from using some of the essential skills required to do it well. In the bid to be ever more salesman-like over-emphasizing generating a “book of business,” there has been a tendency to downplay the importance of being a trusted confidante over the course of a longstanding relationship; a skill required to do the job well. This creates a dilemma for many lawyers in understanding where selling fits into the realm of professional advice. Thinking of me as a disinterested trusted advisor without any sales pressure for recommending unnecessary legal advice provides the clues as to how I fit together with your legal needs. I understand that my role is not only to try and persuade clients on which way is the right way forward but that my role also requires that I be ever mindful of who is in charge, and to know when it is time to accept the decision of the client.

Character and Resilience

To accomplish the PJG Legal mission of keeping legal matters simple by focusing on completing tasks with purpose, authenticity, empathy while maintaining and sustaining longstanding relationships, having strong character and values is of utmost importance. While we cannot always guarantee success, rest assured the process involved with each task is handled with class, grace and the “competence of grit” that I learned from my vast experiences and upbringing. I bounce back from disappointments and when needed think of “outside-the-box” ways to reach client objectives.
