We’re proud to share that William K. Phillips, Founder and Managing Partner of Phillips & Associates, has been featured on the cover of The Enterprise World as one of the “Most Iconic Legal Leaders Shaping the Future of Workplace Safety.”
The Enterprise World is a respected business publication that highlights innovative leaders who drive meaningful change across industries. Being selected for its cover story signals recognition of sustained impact, strategic vision, and influence beyond day-to-day practice.
The feature, titled “Leveling the Legal Field: William K. Phillips Builds a Plaintiffs’ Firm to Match Corporate Might,” centers on Phillips’ foresight in building a plaintiff-side employment firm with the scale and resources typically reserved for corporate defense teams. Long before workplace justice became a broader public conversation, he anticipated the need for employees—especially women—to have equal leverage against powerful employers. That forward-thinking approach led him to create a firm structured for high-stakes litigation and discreet, high-value resolutions while protecting clients’ privacy and careers.

The magazine highlights the firm’s growth into one of the region’s most active advocates for workers, with offices across four states, over 8,000 matters handled, nearly 2,000 cases litigated, and more than $300 million recovered through confidential settlements. These results reflect a deliberate model: every client receives a dedicated three-person team backed by firm-wide resources, enabling swift strategy and real pressure on employers.
This recognition underscores Phillips’ thought leadership in employment law and his ability to anticipate shifts in workplace dynamics. By building institutional strength on the plaintiffs’ side early, he helped set a new standard for how employees can seek justice without facing overwhelming odds.
We invite you to read the full feature in the January 2026 issue of The Enterprise World. It’s a meaningful acknowledgment of the firm’s ongoing commitment to balancing the scales for workers across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida.
