For over 30 years, Philip has helped clients structure, negotiate and close real estate and business transactions.
Philip’s real estate practice has primarily focused on acquisitions and divestitures of commercial and industrial real property, leasing transactions (including ground leases and sale-leasebacks), and development projects. He has assisted clients with many types of real estate, including multifamily properties, shopping centers, office buildings, industrial facilities, ranches, university and municipal properties, and timberland and other unimproved land.
Philip has also represented clients in a broad variety of other business transactions. In private M&A transactions, he has represented private-equity clients in platform and add-on acquisitions, as well as strategic buyers seeking to enhance their industry position; he has also represented the owners of numerous companies being sold. He has helped structure and form a wide variety of joint ventures, including for construction projects, energy ventures, and major infrastructure developments. Philip has significant experience in the use of limited liability companies, S corporations and other business entities, for the formation of start-up companies, the restructuring of existing businesses, and in preparation for generational changes in ownership. Philip also assists clients in navigating the complex requirements of the new Corporate Transparency Act.
Philip’s clients have included general and specialty contractors, real estate developers, upstream and midstream energy companies, fabricators, distributors, PE funds, investors, professional firms, and non-profits, among many others. In each case, Philip takes care to ensure his client understands the legal risks and benefits of the transaction. Many clients are experts in their business but novices in major business transactions. Clients who have never sold a business before, for example, may be understandably confused by the complex legal and contractual jargon in a typical business-sale agreement. Philip knows how to translate those terms and concepts into plain English and explain their real-world significance and consequences. He also helps clients efficiently navigate the transactional process, minimize delays, and best address issues as they arise.
Prior to joining his first firm, Vinson & Elkins, in 1985, Philip served as a judicial law clerk to Hon. Malcolm R. Wilkey of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
