About Phillips Nizer LLP

Phillips Nizer has been engaged in a wide-ranging domestic and international practice for over 85 years. Our size and the diversity of our practice enable us to be a full-service law firm in virtually all areas of law while affording clients close contact and working relationships with partners and associates.

Our attorneys focus on the realities of our clients' continually evolving business needs.  Whether we are working with individual clients, a small start-up company or an international corporation, we use teamwork to respond to these issues with practical, cost-effective and innovative legal solutions. 

Our firm is an entrepreneurial-based mid-sized law firm whose guiding principle is "Resourceful Representation."  We carry on in the tradition of our founders, including Louis Nizer, by providing personalized services -- counseling and representing businesses and individual clients -- in areas such as, litigation, arbitration and mediation, corporate and commercial transactions, real estate, estate planning and administration, tax, banking and finance, securities, mergers and acquisitions, intellectual property (trademark, copyright and new media), licensing and franchising, and matrimonial. 

Given the qualities and range of services we provide, our firm was recognized as one of the “2012 Top Ranked Law Firms™” in the United States by Fortune magazine in a first-of-its-kind joint effort by Fortune and Martindale-Hubbell®.  Phillips Nizer was one of only 27 firms selected in New York City and one of 53 firms selected in New York State.  Achieving the accolade of “Top Ranked Law Firms” is based on Martindale-Hubbell® AV® Preeminent™ ratings. 

The firm's lawyers, several of whom are multi-lingual, have strong ties to Europe, Israel and Asia. The firm maintains three offices -- two in New York -- in Manhattan and Garden City, and one in Hackensack, New Jersey.

Phillips Nizer is a member of the International Alliance of Law Firms (IALF) legal network of almost 60 firms located in over 40 countries.  With globalization comes the need to have access to legal expertise at an international level, and the Alliance offers representation in many major geographical areas of the world. Through the association with the IALF, member firms are able to remain independent and maintain a strong position in the legal marketplace.  Phillips Nizer LLP is the IALF member in the New York metropolitan area.
