He worked for 10 years at what was then Bailhache and Bailhache, starting as assistant to previous Bailiff, William Bailhache, and passing his Jersey Advocates exams in 1991. From the mid 1990's for something over a decade he was in partnership at Viberts, before deciding to start his own firm shortly after that.

On his appointment Philip said, “I am very pleased to be moving my practice to Viberts. My clients will be extremely well looked after. After so many years it will be great to return to Viberts and I look forward to settling my clients in and working out my last year in the law with a strong team around me."
