FOUNDING ATTORNEY

Trent grew up and lived in Tennessee most of his life, which included attending and playing collegiate basketball at Sewanee: The University of the South and then attending the University of Memphis for both law and business degrees. His journey then took him to North Carolina where he truly began practicing law and later returning to school at Duke University School of Law to learn all things entrepreneurial.

Now, Trent has returned to Tennessee (Nashville) and put all those letters after his name to use by working with entrepreneurs and business owners of all shapes and sizes across a broad spectrum of legal needs. Trent’s clients range from software companies to construction companies, all of whom he provides legal services to ranging from entity formation to scaling operations to acquisitions / exits.

Attorney at Law

Phil grew up in Florida, where he attended Florida State University where he earned both a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Degree before attending the University of Florida Levin College of Law for his Juris Doctorate. Attending these rival universities created many mixed feelings and allegiances that are still present each Fall during Football Season!

Phil joined Wiliams Law as an Attorney in 2023. Phil’s practice focuses primarily on Business Immigration, Intellectual Property, and Federal Appellate Law.

When he’s not assisting clients, Phil enjoys spending time with his family. You can likely find him hiking trails, crafting furniture in his woodshop or dining at one of Raleigh-Durham’s finest restaurants.
