Since 1834, Phillips Lytle has maintained a reputation as a premier law firm for companies doing business in Western New York and throughout the state. Our seven offices give us the farthest geographic reach of any New York law firm, and our more than 170 years of experience and commitment to excellence assure our clients that we understand what it takes to achieve efficient and successful outcomes. Moreover, our geographic reach enables us to serve a wider range of clients, both New York-based and out-of-state companies.

We do not aspire to become a mega-firm because our clients rarely need armies of lawyers. They need attorneys committed to solving their problems with intelligence rather than with sheer numbers. For more than 170 years, Phillips Lytle has been forming, guiding, and representing distinguished companies, many of which are today’s leaders in commerce, finance, and manufacturing. They include Fortune 500 corporations, global financial institutions, and local companies.

This diverse clientele means that Phillips Lytle is not dependent on a single major client, and it means that our lawyers apply their talents in a variety of challenging situations. We continually search out and nurture high-caliber individuals who combine keen legal minds with sound business judgment and a commitment to client service. We are selective about who we hire because we have a reputation of over 170 years to maintain.
