Top Lawyer
"Paul is an extraordinarily talented attorney, working tirelessly to produce exceptional results. There is good reason that he was first in his Negotiations class at Harvard Law School. His counsel is focused, wise and delivered with the utmost integrity. Of hundreds of lawyers I have worked with ove...
"I endorse this lawyer. Paul is a most highly competent and seasoned lawyer. He practices at the highest professional and ethical levels."
"I endorse this lawyer without reservation. His competence and skills are matched by the confidence he instills in clients."
"I have known Paul Wilson for the better part of a decade. It’s not just Paul’s educational pedigree, which is top-notch; it’s not just his legal experiential pedigree, which is stellar; it’s not his family legal pedigree, which is rarefied (his father is a well-respected former senior partner of a large corporate law firm); rather, it’s the entire package from which the client benefits when hiring Paul, including his sharp business sense and practical approach. He melds legal advisor with business advisor, providing the best of both worlds in one professional."
"I have known Mr. Wilson for over fifteen years and thoroughly recommend him to any one in need of a corporate attorney. Mr. Wilson is active in the business community as a regular participant in a number of business organizations in and around the metropolitan New York City area. In that capacity, his service to his client base has been with the utmost care and attention to the needs and goals of the client. Moreover, I am unaware of an instance where the targeted goals of the representation were not acheived. In short, I cannot recommend Mr., Wilson's services enough and would strongly endorse his services to anyone in need legal services related to corporate formation and governance."
"I have known Paul for several years and recommend him highly. Paul has significant "big law" experience which he uses to benefit his clients in his advisory capacity as outside general counsel. Paul also has a staff of experienced attorneys to assist him with his M&A practice."
"Paul Wilson is a go-to resource when corporate, mergers & acquisitions, or securities matters require immediate attention. I have long been impressed by Paul's integrity, intelligence and resourcefulness in resolving complex corporate challenges in crisis situations."
"I wholeheardtedly endorse Paul Wilson. I have known Paul for a number of years and he is truly one of the smartest and most diligent practitioners I have encountered. He also has boundless energy and enthusiasm. Paul has a complete grasp of his practice area and the ability to analyze and understand many complex issues as well as the ability to forge effective legal solutions. Hence, I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Paul Wilson!"
"Paul’s Firm is a boutique corporate law firm, dedicated to servicing the legal needs of small and medium sized businesses. Paul is an expert in his field, and his close attention to detail combined with his impeccable negotiation skills make his services invaluable. I have heard numerous positive reviews and success stories from clients of P.H. Wilson Law & Consulting. Any business in need of legal advice should be sure to contact Paul. He is able to offer the knowledge and expertise of a larger firm, while providing a more personal approach to his clients in addressing their legal needs."
"I have worked with Paul on several matters. I would recommend him enthusiastically to any individual or company seeking legal help on transactional or other corporate matters."
"Paul is a smart, sensible lawyer with a keen eye for detail. He is a strong strategist and is careful to examine not only all angles of an issue a client is currently confronting but how matters may change over time. Finally, he is a pleasure to work with."
"Paul was an adversary in a business matter. While zealously representing his client (in what was a contentious matter for our respective clients) he displayed a constructive, problem solving approach and applied his considerable expertise towards reaching an agreement. Throughout, he was always a gentleman."
"Paul and I worked closely on a very complex construction matter. His insight contributed to the project's efficiency and cost control, maximized the opportunity for both owner and general contractor and resulted in a dispute-free completion. I've known Paul for years and am pleased to offer my highest recommendation."
"Paul is an accomplished corporate lawyer. His training at one of New York's largest law firms, combined with his tremendous business sense, make him a valuable and trusted advisor to his clients."
"I have worked as Of Counsel to Paul's Firm for over a year. Paul is an excellent attorney with an expansive knowledge of his practice area (corporate/mergers and acquisitions/business formations/partnerships) and possesses a fine attention to detail which is essential to success in this area. I highly recommend Paul."
"I highly recommend Paul for mergers, acquisitions and all aspects of corporate work. His insight into and ability to address complex matters is unparalleled and it is simply a pleasure to work with him."
"I have known Paul for many years. I have had the opportunity to speak with several people who have used his legal services. Without exception, he is described as a consummate professional, having a deep background in all aspects of business contracts and transactions. Paul's legal skills are of the highest caliber. I highly recommend Paul to anyone who might be in need of a top flight business lawyer."
"Paul Wilson has provided excellent counsel to my firm's clients on asset sale agreements, asset purchase agreements, various partner membership agreements and the several ancillary documents that are important to a well documented business relationship. Paul truly provides Wall Street expertise to Main Street businesses and their owners. Paul is focused, efficient and can be either practical or creative depending on the deal at hand."
