𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗽𝘀: Carter Phillips is one of the most experienced Supreme Court and appellate lawyers in the country, having argued 81 cases before the Supreme Court—more than any other lawyer in private practice.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗞𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲: Special recognition goes to Keith Del Prete, a fellow Wolverine from the University of Michigan, who assembled this outstanding legal team. It was through the hospitality industry that I met Keith, a partner at Sidley Austin and co-leader of the firm’s Global Hospitality group. Keith has become a friend – and the strength of the team he has assembled is testament to that friendship and faith.
