Biography

Phillip has extensive experience in all aspects of complex civil litigation with an emphasis on transnational litigation, and has developed deep knowledge about dealing with issues related to suits involving events that occur outside the United States. These include representation of foreign parties, jurisdiction, foreign sovereign immunity, forum non conveniens, conflicts of law, service of process, and discovery abroad. His practice includes disputes in a broad range of areas — including all aspects of the energy industry, commercial matters, maritime commerce, and product liability. Phillip also advises foreign entities on U.S. litigation risks.

In the 2010 guide of Legal 500 U.S., Phillip is noted by clients to be ‘tremendously impressive on jurisdictional matters.’
