Practice groupCorporate & Finance

Philip Ehrlich has been working on transactional business matters since he operated his own Standardbred racehorse and bloodstock business in college. Today, Phil still uses many of the same skills in his practice that he first developed brokering the sales of stakes in winning and producing horses. He focuses on the representation of domestic and foreign financial institutions, private equity and hedge funds, corporate clients, and bondholder and creditor committees.

Phil has a broad background in corporate and financial law matters and is often called on to work on novel transactions involving a wide array of corporate, commercial, and contract legal issues. He also routinely works with lawyers in our bankruptcy restructuring and insolvency and real estate groups, as well as with lawyers in our overseas offices.

Phil brings his deep experience in complex U.S. and cross-border business and investment acquisitions and dispositions, including mergers and stock and asset acquisitions, to address client issues. He's also well-versed in out-of-court and bankruptcy restructurings and reorganizations, debt and equity financings, workouts and foreclosures representing lenders and borrowers, joint ventures, and other commercial transactions.
