Phillips Lytle LLP

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘Phillips Lytle has long been at the forefront of telecommunications, and I am confident that their involvement means that we will have the best background and practices to meet upcoming needs. PL has always been a leader in the industry which has made them a more respected voice in hearings and other communications to local and state governments.’

• ‘Our longstanding relationship with PL means that they understand most aspects of our business and have a good perspective which helps our business clients as they try to achieve their goals. ’

• ‘They are out of the box thinkers. Our business is all about our intellectual property and they drafted a License & Supply Agreement that all our partners have signed. This is a big deal because in 23 years in telecommunications, I have never seen some of these companies sign others paper. Their team is the best of the best!!’

• ‘Doug Dimitroff is the lead on our account. He has such an extensive knowledge of the telecom business that we have been using him for strategic business decisions on top of using them for their legal services.’

• ‘What I appreciate most about Phillips Lytle is that while I know they've got my specialty extremely well-covered (Telecom), as issues spin out into other areas like bankruptcy, real estate, etc., they can quickly and efficiently roll in another specialist, ensuring that you're always getting expert guidance. This team and collaborative approach works well in my dynamic industry. I need to demonstrate that my legal has mitigated risk, from top to bottom. Whether it's another partner or associate, I've always been impressed with the quality of work and expertise displayed. What I'm looking for is a firm that gives me expert opinion and work in timely fashion. Phillips Lytle delivers that trifecta in spades.’

• ‘David Brontson is my go-to. I've used him at three companies over the course of my career and have never regretted it. His mastery of telecom from a regulatory and legal perspective is invaluable to those of us in the telecom infrastructure space where we're constantly juggling numerous legal fields and an insular industry. I know that he's probably one of the busiest attorneys in the field, but he couldn't be more responsive to my communications: if I call, he picks up; if I email, he replies immediately; if I need to set some time with him, he puts a meeting in my calendar.’

• ‘The firm is extremely reliable, thoughtful and accessible all the way up to the managing partner. Always well-prepared for meetings and very knowledgeable of the issues we are working on. We had a project in South Africa that they excelled in and had an associate from Sierra Leone who was really valuable on the project.’

• ‘Doug Dimitroff is the managing partner of the firm, and he is very accessible and extremely easy to work with. David Bronston is also excellent.’
