A consummate professional for complex corporate matters

Our company faced a challenging acquisition that involved intricate corporate governance issues. We engaged Herbert West at Phelps Dunbar, and his 38 years of experience were immediately evident. His deep knowledge, particularly in mergers and acquisitions law, guided us through every nuance. Herbert’s Vanderbilt-honed legal mind, combined with his practical Alabama business sense, was invaluable. He anticipated complications we hadn't considered and structured the deal to protect our interests flawlessly. It’s no surprise he is recognized by Best Lawyers in Corporate Law. Herbert is not just a brilliant attorney; he is a strategic partner who communicates clearly and instills complete confidence. The transaction closed smoothly, a direct result of his exceptional skill and steady hand.
