Charlotte, NC – North Carolina Lawyers Weekly has honored Phillip Fajgenbaum among its Icons and Phenoms. The award program recognizes the region’s most accomplished and promising legal professionals. Phillip was nominated by one of his peers and selected by a panel of judges from the publication’s editorial team.
Phillip is a graduate of the Mecklenburg County Bar Leadership Institute who has served on the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina's Local Rules Committee and co-chaired its Litigation Subcommittee. He also served on the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of South Carolina's Local Rules Committee and its Creditors' Rights Subcommittee.
Phillip advises clients on financial restructuring and insolvency, general litigation, sports and entertainment, and real estate. In his financial restructuring practice, he helps lending institutions, manufacturers, industrial equipment finance companies, purchasers of debt, and other creditors navigate the bankruptcy process. He has represented clients in alternatives to bankruptcy as well, including pioneering North Carolina’s updated Commercial Receivership Act.
His experience in complex bankruptcy cases strengthens his broader litigation practice. Phillip represents clients in a wide range of commercial and civil disputes, including data breach litigation, contract disputes for local and international businesses, insurance-related disputes, and eminent domain proceedings on behalf of condemning authorities. He also advises sports and entertainment clients on NCAA name, image, and likeness (NIL) issues, drawing on his firsthand experience as a former collegiate athlete. In addition, Phillip assists real estate clients with landlord-tenant issues, lease drafting and updates, and other legal needs.
North Carolina Lawyers Weekly honored Phillip and its other Icons and Phenoms at an event on April 23 in Chapel Hill.
