Since its founding in 2011, the firm has focused on the intersection of workplace authority and legal accountability. Founder William K. Phillips emphasizes that modern employment disputes frequently hinge on the misuse of power by executives, founders, and physicians rather than simple policy violations. By maintaining a strictly plaintiff-side practice, the firm has litigated approximately 2,000 cases and recovered over $360 million for employees to date.
Chambers USA Ranks Phillips & Associates for Workplace Litigation Focus
Phillips & Associates has secured a spot in the 2026 Chambers USA Guide for its specialized work representing employees in high-stakes labor disputes. The firm, which exclusively serves plaintiffs, earned the ranking for its track record in handling harassment, retaliation, and complex power-dynamic cases within the New York legal market.
Chambers recognized the firm for its commercial awareness and litigation strategy, particularly in cases involving high-profile figures. Recent public matters handled by the firm include sexual assault allegations against Sean Combs and Harvey Weinstein, as well as significant gender discrimination lawsuits against financial institutions. Beyond these high-profile filings, the firm utilizes dedicated litigation teams that follow cases from initial discovery through to trial, a structure designed to provide leverage against major management-side defense firms.
