Valuable counsel

When we purchased and 12 years later sold our business, Phil served as our attorney and was extremely effective in protecting our interests. He's particularly good at driving specific language or negotiations tactics based on strategic questions and considerations. Phil was recommended to us by a f...riend who is frequently involved in business mergers/acquisitions, and the recommendation was a rock solid one.

Exceptional Business Attorney

Phil understands the complexities and nuances business owners face. He is particularly adept drafting contracts that will protect your organization and keep you out of court. He believes in dispute resolution through dialog vs. litigation. For nearly 20 years Phil has worked with our company and se...en us through numerous difficult situations. Please consider this my very strong recommendation to any business leader seeking solid advice from a wise and experienced professional.

DEAL MAKER

My partner and I are seasoned business intermediaries representing owners of middle market manufacturing, distribution and service companies in the sale of their businesses. In Phil’s representation of our clients for over fifteen years he has been superb. He is truly a “deal maker”. The combinatio...n of his breadth of knowledge of business and law, listening abilities, understanding of the parties’ emotions, negotiating talents, practicality, flexibility and always timely performance are rare. I highly recommend Phil to anyone involved in the selling or buying of a business.

Review - Philip Chapman

Philip is an incredibly effective attorney with whom I have had the pleasure of working with over the last four years. In addition to his in-depth legal skills, he inserts a savvy knowledge of business which makes him an invaluable resource for navigating complex legal issues while at the same time u...nderstanding the importance of making efficient business decision. He is assertive and at the same time understands the importance of finding common between parties to minimize legal costs. I would absolutely utilize his services if I ever found myself in need of an attorney.
