Practice Areas

Phelan Law’s practice is built around sophisticated transactional work and high-stakes commercial litigation, delivered with the precision of a boutique and the breadth of a full-service firm. We represent businesses and individuals in sophisticated business transactions and complex commercial disputes, including on a wide range of commercial agreements, corporate governance, commercial real estate, distressed situations, creditors’ rights, internal investigations, and the formation and governance of tax-exempt organizations, drawing on deep experience guiding clients through both sophisticated transactions and complex litigation.

Because we combine disciplined transactional drafting with aggressive litigation capabilities, clients rely on us not only to resolve conflicts but also to prevent them, often engaging us as outside general counsel to manage risk and negotiate complex agreements to support their long-term operational goals, as well as to protect and enforce their rights when disputes arise.

Our primary areas of practice include:

We also understand that clients value predictability in legal spending. For matters with a reasonably defined scope, flat-fee arrangements may be available. Other matters may be billed hourly or under another agreed arrangement, depending on the nature and complexity of the engagement.
