I've got two mates, Standing Colin and Falling Over Eric. We've arranged to go out for a beer, but Falling Over Eric can't make it. I'm thinking I won't go now too, NOT WITH STANDING Eric on my own!!

The phrase means the same as "in spite of", "nevertheless", "all the same". It is also the term used for a special clause in Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Notwithstanding the recommendation of the jury, the judge sentenced the man to a lengthy prison term.
The notwithstanding clause in the Canadian Charter gives parliament and provincial legislatures the right ot override some clauses of the charter.

It is not a phrase; it's all one word. Here I've used it as a conjunction:
Notwithstanding that the room was full of critics, the singer belted out her original tune with confidence.

Not With Standing, the unfortunate plane crash killing half of our staff, we will still have our 20 year accident free celebration.
