Phillips Lytle LLP > New York City, United States > Firm Profile

‘Phillips Lytle LLP extends a unique practice to its clients by providing a full suite of services whether basic corporate matters, merger & acquisition assistance, tax matters, patent guidance, etc. The partners and associates in the firm are all well connected in the various industries in which they specialize, thus providing the firm and their clients the most up to date information available for any particular business focus.’

‘The partners and associates in the firm are active in industry events which focus on the areas in which they specialize, thus providing a value add to their clients. I have worked closely with Doug Dimitroff, David Bronston and Asaf Hahami for many years and the responsiveness and accuracy of their work is exceptional and second to none.’

‘They are out of the box thinkers. We have a patented technology and they came up with a specialized agreement that allows us to license our IP on a site by site basis and the licensee has to buy the materials for us. It is a one of a kind agreement that has now been accepted by the biggest customers in telecom, which is a huge deal. I have been in telecom for 21 years and have never seen any of these customers sign someone paper that isn’t theirs, but everyone has signed ours.’

‘We utilize 3 different attorney’s within the firm, each with tremendous knowledge of their part. Doug Dimitroff is our main point of contact and he has helped get us in front of the FCC, various municipal government agencies and is helping us break into new countries. Richard Marinaccio wrote our agreements, which allows us to work without worrying about our IP. Ben Farber has been tremendous in his capacity in helping us change our LLC Agreement to better match our business. The original LLC Agreement was put together by another firm that our investors brought to the table. After that experience, I will never work with any one but Phillips Lytle.’

‘My 40 year telecom career spanned 4 continents and many telecom technologies. The Phillips Lytle team did, and continues to, stand out as a unique firm perfectly suited to support telecom clients interested in efficiently completing transactions and protecting their interest.’

‘We have worked with the Phillips Lytle team for approximately 3 years. They have been very responsive in all matters relating to (i) preparing contract forms, (ii) licensing/qualification matters, and (iii) employment matters. The work of the their telecom practice team has been excellent in helping us commence operations in the US and the Phillips Lytle team was also very helpful in the process of closing operations.‘

‘The principal lawyers/partners that have led the Phillips Lytle team were David Bronston, Douglas Dimitroff and Bruce Frankiewich. All provided very good advice and service.’

‘Phillips Lytle has exceptional industry experience in telecommunications and the local New York market. I have not had the privilege of working with them in other markets, but our experience with the partners locally has been fantastic. I find the partners take a full interest in understanding your business objectives and bring much more value to the table than basic legal blocking and tackling.‘
