What our clients are saying
Philip is that rare find - a lawyer who's quick, kind, and strategic. The kind of person you want on your M&A calls and your happy hour invite list.
Philip helped me fulfil a lifelong dream of acquiring a consulting business. I have only ever worked in corporate jobs, and had a lot to learn about buying business, forming businesses, legal protection and even grounds for negotiation with the seller. Philip was not only knowledgeable in these areas, but also available for quick calls/conversations as the negotiations developed. He and his team drafted the purchase agreement and even finalized agreements for the bank, despite it being outside of his scope. On top of all of this, Philip has been a great resource for me as I’ve started my business, drafting legal documents and also connecting me with key centers of influence. I would recommend Philip to any business owner.
Phil Stewart is one of the most personable and professional attorneys I’ve had the pleasure of working with. He’s incredibly timely and communicates clearly, which makes the process smooth and painless. In both corporate general counsel and M&A work, he has a rare ability to make complex legal matters feel straightforward. His attention to detail and practical approach consistently build confidence and trust. I can’t say enough good things about Phil and his team. Any business owner looking for a sharp, reliable, and genuinely great attorney is in the right place
