McPhillips Law

Virtual Law Firm, Authentic Connection

McPhillips Law is a virtual law firm based in Tampa, Florida focused on delivering comprehensive business, nonprofit, and tax legal services through education and empowerment. I build authentic connections with my clients to understand their goals and needs, ensuring they receive clear, meaningful solutions they can confidently implement.

McPhillips Law is founded on the principle that sophisticated legal services should be more accessible to busy professionals, military families, and small businesses. The firm’s mission is Making Things Right For Your Future.

I opened my firm in 2018 while living in Japan - a task that involved tackling tough legal tech implementation issues and working across multiple world time zones. As an entrepreneur, I appreciate the challenges small business owners face. My approach to solving problems for clients - whether in tax, business or nonprofit law - is to infuse practical solutions into legal strategy.

As a former BigLaw attorney, I know the importance of going above and beyond to respond to client needs. I have worked on global litigation matters for some of the largest companies and the most demanding C-suite executives. I bring this high-touch level of responsiveness to my own firm, along with legal judgment honed by practicing law for more than two decades. I look forward to making things right for my clients.

Candice McPhillips

Founding Attorney

My law practice in Tampa, Florida provides clients with well-rounded advice on protecting the individual and business assets they worked so hard to build.

After 14 years as a litigator in global law firms, I earned a Tax Master of Laws (LLM) and shifted my practice to tax, business, and nonprofit law. I offer business, tax, and nonprofit legal advice for clients who need assistance with entity formation, contracts, compliance, business succession planning, and tax issues. I also offer customized consulting to lawyer entrepreneurs looking to start their own virtual law firms.

Originally from Virginia, I became a military spouse in 2008 and have now lived in several states and in Japan. Thanks to the military lifestyle, I became licensed to practice law in 6 states.

In addition to running my law firm, I have a passion for educating the next generation of lawyers about the benefits of owning their own firms. I have taught Law Office Management as an Adjunct Professor at Lincoln Memorial University Law School and enjoy mentoring lawyers who are starting virtual law firms.

In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my husband, daughter, and golden retriever named Alex.
