Expert guidance through a complex securities dispute

Our company retained Jim Phillips to represent us in a high-stakes securities litigation matter. His deep knowledge of the field, honed over nearly two decades, was immediately apparent. He didn't just understand the legal statutes; he grasped the intricate financial nuances of our case, which was crucial. His recognition as a 'Lawyer of the Year' in securities litigation is well-deserved and gave us confidence from the outset. Jim and his team at Brooks Pierce developed a meticulous, strategic approach that felt tailored to our specific situation in the Charlotte market. His counsel was always clear, direct, and grounded in extensive experience. The one area where we occasionally wished for more was in the timeliness of email responses from his support staff during non-critical phases, though Jim himself was always accessible for major discussions. Ultimately, his skilled representation led to a highly favorable resolution. We would not hesitate to recommend him for any serious securities or complex commercial litigation.
