Peter Prindiville is an associate in the Washington, D.C. office of Latham & Watkins and a member of the firm’s Supreme Court & Appellate Practice.

Peter's practice focuses on appellate litigation in the federal and state appellate courts and dispositive motions in the federal district courts. He also provides strategic counseling to clients on a wide range of legal and public policy matters. Peter maintains an active pro bono practice, primarily representing individuals in civil rights appeals. 

Peter returned to Latham after serving as a law clerk to Judge Scott M. Matheson, Jr. of the US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
