Leaders in Law is delighted to endorse William Phillips, founder and managing partner of Phillips & Associates, as our exclusive Employment Discrimination expert in New York. Through this endorsement, we are pleased to highlight his position on our leading global platform, which connects distinguished legal professionals with businesses, in‑house counsel, and referrers worldwide. Our exclusive expert positions are reserved for practitioners who demonstrate consistently high standards of professionalism and sector knowledge.
Phillips & Associates is a Chambers-ranked, employee-side employment litigation firm that practices employment law exclusively and represents employees only, never employers. The firm handles serious, career-impacting disputes against Fortune 500 companies, major institutions, executives, founders, CEOs, business owners, law firm partners, physicians, celebrities, public figures, and other powerful decision-makers.
Phillips & Associates combines the resources and litigation capacity of a substantial plaintiff-side employment practice with partner-led, boutique-style representation. Every accepted matter is assigned to a dedicated team led by a partner or senior litigator and supported by an associate attorney and a paralegal. Key decisions involving strategy, valuation, negotiation, mediation, and trial preparation receive senior-level review.
The firm represents employees in workplace sexual harassment, workplace relationship harassment, discrimination, retaliation, whistleblower retaliation, medical leave and accommodation disputes, and termination following protected complaints. Its publicly filed matters have included allegations involving Sean Combs, Harvey Weinstein, Kanye West, and Maksud Agadjani, the founder of TraxNYC and a jeweler featured in Uncut Gems.
Phillips & Associates has litigated approximately 2,000 employment cases and matters involving more than 550 management-side defense firms. That litigation record creates leverage whether a client seeks a confidential pre-suit resolution or files a lawsuit. The firm has recovered more than $360 million for employees. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Phillips & Associates serves employees through offices in New York City, Garden City, White Plains, Princeton, Philadelphia, and Miami, which is available by appointment. Accepted cases are handled on a contingency basis, with no attorney fees unless the firm recovers. Free and confidential consultations are handled by the firm’s in-house intake team, not an outsourced call center: 866-229-9441.
