Philip Schwalb has over 30 years' experience as an attorney, professor, legal advocate & business pioneer. He has led startups, non-profits, sports & entertainment businesses & complex legal matters. He has been adjunct professor or lecturer at Columbia University, NYU, UCF & Rollins College, & offered insight in interviews with ABC, NBC & PBS affiliates, as well as FOX, CNN and NPR nationally. He has also been featured in publications including the Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal, Forbes Magazine & often the New York Times.
From 2001 to 2008 Schwalb founded, financed & developed the $100 million World Trade Center area rebuilding project he conceived of after 9/11. Blocks from the Statue of Liberty ferry & New York Stock Exchange Schwalb built the nation's first ever Smithsonian-style museum dedicated to sports in society. He secured collaboration from NY City's Mayor & State Governor; leagues including the NBA, NFL, MLB & NHL; 30 U.S. sports hall of fame; & hundreds of Hall of Fame athletes from dozens of sports. Schwalb raised over $100 Million (through sale of bonds and private equity); oversaw all design and architecture; & managed government & media relations. On May 7, 2008 he led (with NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Civil Rights icon Billie Jean King, and NFL star Eli Manning) a nationally televised grand opening.

The Sports Museum of America received rave reviews (& was named Nickelodeon's Best Museum in NYC for children & teens) before Wall Street's collapse & the subsequent recession forced its closing. Today Schwalb fights for nonprofits & the legal rights of the vulnerable (his first such victory was 25 years ago, as catalyst for a $14 Million Antitrust settlement for players vs a sports league). Through his organization "Bend The Arc" (from the MLK Jr. quote "the moral arc of the universe is long but bends toward justice") he pursues political & social justice through writings, media & the law.
