Philip S. Boone, Jr.

Of Counsel

Philip (“Sandy”) Boone represents start-up and mature corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies based in or seeking to conduct business in California. These companies are frequently involved in property management, restaurant and food service, manufacturing, retail, or technology.

Sandy often serves as outside general counsel to his clients, and in that capacity handles a wide array of issues from formation onwards, beginning with what kind of entity to form, what State to form it in, and how the new entity should be structured and governed.

In addition to ordinary business contracts and management issues, Sandy assists clients with shareholder and partnership agreements, employment, confidentiality, and non-competition agreements, mergers and acquisitions, financings, leases, purchases and sale of assets, cash-out transactions, corporate reorganizations, and contests for corporate control.

Sandy also represents shareholder and management groups as well as individual officers, directors, and officers.
