“Real-world” experience is a key attribute that Reager & Adler values in its attorneys. Peter Wilson graduated from Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, and, while in college, he served as a Navy Midshipman under an ROTC scholarship.
Following graduation, Peter worked in the financial services branch of New York City’s redevelopment authority. He then attended and received his law degree, cum laude, from the University of Minnesota Law School.
After practicing law for a few years in Minnesota, Peter returned to the business world as Director of Labor Relations for the Bureau of Engraving, an electronics manufacturer based in Minneapolis.
Peter and his family returned to his home state of Pennsylvania, where he accepted a management position with Sutliff Chevrolet Company in Harrisburg. He was responsible for personnel, inventory, sales, and the bottom-line profitability of the company for five years before he decided to recommence his law career in 2001.
