“Phil Addis and his team have guided our manufacturing company through Government Contract Law cases with stellar results. Main Street Development has a vast base of legal knowledge from personnel matters to patent infringements that has allowed us to maintain company integrity & strength over our competitors. Phil Addis is the best attorney we’ve engaged in our 42 years in business, always going the extra mile while protecting our interests every step of the way.”

The owner of DENT Instruments, Inc., a multi-million-dollar electronics manufacturer in the energy information business, contacted Main Street Development in the Fall of 2022 to represent him in the sale of the Company to a publicly traded multi-national company based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Though the transaction team representing DENT consisted of numerous attorneys, CPAs and business advisors, Phil Addis from MSD was the lead architect in putting together the response to the buyer, negotiating the terms of sale, and advising the owner throughout the four month "due diligence" phase prior to close of the sale. Phil continues to advise the seller on business matters a year after the sale of the Company.

Christopher Dent, Founder and former owner of DENT Instruments said, "As a technologist trained in Physics and Engineering, I was completely out of my element in negotiating the sale of a company that I had started 35 years earlier. A trusted friend of mine had worked with, and recommended Phil Addis to me. A detailed phone call later and I knew I had found the Mergers & Acquisition attorney I needed. From first contact with the buyer through signing, Phil was always there to guide me and the process. That peace of mind alone was worth more than the fees! Despite being up against the buyer's nationwide attorney firm and an international accounting firm, Phil was "toe to toe" with the buyers from start to finish. In the end, Phil and I negotiated a deal that was 10% higher than I had expected, together with a follow-on employment agreement to get the new owners up to speed after the acquisition. Phil's easy going, 'no big deal - I got this attitude' was very welcome during the stress of the selling process. If I were to build and sell another business, Phil Addis would be the first person I called!"

Phil was there for me when I started my business and continues to be there for me on an ongoing basis. What I appreciate about him most is his ability to problem solve. He has helped me to see what’s possible and then choose the best path forward in a variety of situations. Thank you, Phil!
