Prosperant, the foremost management consultancy in the legal industry, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Gene Phillips as a principal consultant, based in Los Angeles, California. Phillips will play a key role in assisting the Prosperant team on intricate projects, catering to both US firms seeking domestic and international expansion and global firms, including those from the UK, aiming to establish a presence in the United States.
With over 13 years of experience, Phillips brings his extensive international expertise and network to Prosperant. Throughout his career, he has provided strategic consulting and expert witness services for prominent litigation firms in the United States, Australia, Canada, the UK, and the Netherlands. Notably, he has been instrumental in advising on complex and high-profile commercial disputes as the CEO of PF2 Securities and as a Special Advisor to Validity Finance. Prior to these roles, he held positions with Citigroup Alternative Investments, a New York-based hedge fund, and began his Wall Street journey in the Derivatives group at Moody’s Investors Service.
Jamie White, co-founder of Prosperant, expressed enthusiasm for Phillips’ arrival, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Gene, a highly esteemed and influential figure in the field of litigation. Having spent a significant part of my own career supporting US-based law firms from London, I am excited to have strong on-the-ground capabilities in the US. Our clients are genuinely excited about this development.”
Phillips himself expressed delight in joining the Prosperant team, emphasizing the opportune timing to collaborate in an era where law firms are actively seeking innovative solutions to differentiate themselves amidst technological advancements and societal changes. He praised Prosperant for its proven track record in launching firms and facilitating successful partnerships, and he looks forward to assisting boutique firms and business lines in building sustainable and scalable business development practices.
Phillips represents the latest addition to Prosperant’s esteemed team. Earlier this year, Tina Fordham, former Citi geopolitical strategist to global investors and the C-Suite, joined as a principal senior adviser, followed by Ian Moyler, who served as Senior Clerk at Brick Court Chambers in London for over three decades.
Paul Martenstyn, co-founder of Prosperant, shared his vision of delivering world-class advice and engaging exceptional advisors wherever their clients require support. With the United States being a pivotal market for Prosperant, Martenstyn expressed his satisfaction in having Gene Phillips on board, acknowledging the significant contribution he will make in furthering the firm’s services.
