We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of longtime Pryor
Cashman partner Philip Hoffman, who died of
COVID-19 complications on March 31st, 2020. To many, Phil was
the heart and soul of our firm, epitomizing and perpetuating the
culture that we cherish. Phil’s kindness and commitment to us
all knew no bounds and sustained so many during his 35-plus years
at the firm. He was always available for a chat that invariably
lifted one’s spirits at any time of day or night—and he
mentored legions of lawyers who learned from him how to practice
law at the highest level with both enthusiasm and good humor.
Phil’s contributions to our firm are immeasurable, as is his
loss.
Wholly devoted to his family, Phil was also an impassioned New
York Ranger fan and Broadway aficionado. He leaves behind his wife
Eileen, son Patrick, daughter Kerry, two grandchildren, and
countless others who were blessed enough to know, learn from, and
laugh with him.
