Philip R. Westerman

Expert guidance on a complex commercial property acquisition

I recently engaged Philip Westerman at Barnes & Thornburg to assist with the acquisition of a multi-tenant commercial building in Columbus. With 27 years of experience, his deep knowledge of Ohio real estate law was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated a challenging due diligence process, uncovering title issues and zoning nuances that could have caused significant problems down the line. His recognition in Best Lawyers for Real Estate Law is well-deserved, reflecting the caliber of his strategic advice. Philip is a true professional who explains complex matters clearly. The one area where I noticed a slight delay was in receiving draft revisions during peak periods, though the final work product was always impeccable. For high-stakes real estate transactions in Central Ohio, his Ohio State-honed expertise and firm's resources provide tremendous confidence. I highly recommend him for his substantive skill and practical approach.
