Phil handles every aspect of the planning, development and implementation of projects, from pre-acquisition due diligence to the preparation of offering plan materials and no-action applications, as well as the marketing and sale of property offerings. He collaborates with stakeholders and key members of development teams, architects and engineers, managing agents, sales teams and other attorneys to move projects from conception through approval and ultimately to sale, addressing the numerous expected — and unexpected — issues that can arise over the life of a development.

His practice includes the review of hotel management agreements, assisting in the development of the sales programs for extended-stay and hotel condominiums and preparing homeowners association documents for a variety of projects.
