Devin Phillips is the ideal fit for the thriving, entrepreneurial-minded law firm of Weener Nathan Phillips, LLP, where he focuses on client relationships as a business lawyer and legal adviser in the construction, tech, recruiting, commercial real estate, and food service industries, on issues such as corporate governance, tax liability, client/customer contracts, employment agreements, commercial leases, asset purchase and sale agreements, and trademark registration.

"We take pride in the fact that Weener Nathan Phillips is not your ordinary service provider. Our clients know that we're in this together - whether in the trenches side-by-side, preparing to take on a challenge or in a conference room, celebrating the exciting growth of their business as one through a hard-won merger, franchise structuring or real estate investment. We're more than just legal counsel, we're a partner - a vital extension of their team."
"I learned early in my career that treating clients with respect, listening to and answering their questions, reassuring them in times of doubt, and providing clear focus, direction, and communication at every stage of our work together is the only way to do business. It's in the little things, like a policy that every call gets returned within 24 hours. Ethical behavior, quality, professionalism, quickness, and openness are the foundations behind Weener Nathan Phillips. As we grow, each person who joins the team embodies these values."
Motivated by the concentration and mindfulness of each activity, Phil Weener applies these values to the leadership of his own Atlanta law firm. First launched as a general practice firm in 1980, his firm would evolve in 1994 to become what is now known as the highly-respected Weener Nathan Phillips. Phil's goals from the very beginning still hold true today - to provide the highest level of service, quality of work and expertise to each and every client. Those objectives, combined with Phil's steadfast leadership and stellar reputation, have led to the solid growth of the firm each year. His client-first mindset paired with a commitment to integrity, professionalism and loyalty, soon garnered him the attention of the leading global network of over one million lawyers - Martindale-Hubbell - which has listed him on its prestigious Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers.
