Barton LLP, a law firm with offices in New York, California, Tennessee, and Virginia is comprised of an elite team of former partners of “Big Law” who have joined together to create a progressive law firm. To us, legal services are business services, and our attorneys and staff are business-people serving business clients to advance their business goals.
Our mission is to provide our sophisticated corporate, financial services, investment fund and entrepreneurial clients with the highest quality legal services delivered in an effective and efficient manner. We accomplish this because we are an organization that does not follow the traditional multi-layered and leveraged law firm model. We believe that a better product, value and client experience is achieved by providing our clients with highly skilled senior attorneys who work directly on their matters with appropriate support from a strong, but lean team of associate attorneys and staff.
We are committed to developing long-term relationships by partnering with our clients so that we thoroughly understand their organizations, objectives and long-term goals. We offer in-house training programs to our clients and take a proactive approach to reviewing clients’ business practices, contracts and relationships to avoid or reduce the incidents of litigation and risk whenever possible.
Our firm structure and experience allows us to offer a wide array of alternative fee arrangements. We understand that hourly billing is frequently not in our client’s best interest, nor does it necessarily represent the value of our services. Our clients provide their goods and services in a competitive marketplace, and yet they rarely, if ever, use an hourly based pricing model. We know that clients have to manage their resources and create efficiencies to stay within budget – and they want lawyers who are able to do the same.

Berner Law & Mediation Group was founded with the unique focus of helping individuals and families in conflict reach resolutions together, in a problem-solving way, instead of against each other, in a destructive way. Our law firm can offer you several advantages over traditional ways of divorcing, among them cost-effectiveness, durability, and a process that promotes respect rather than prolonging hostility.
Whether in the context of divorce (our primary focus), other family, family business, or workplace disputes, our client-centered approach seeks to create a safe and trusting space to engage in constructive dialogue and perspective-taking. We also conduct financial and legal analyses, where applicable, to provide a deeper understanding of the financial and legal realities. This helps clients make informed, optimal decisions about how to move forward in their lives.
Our Philosophy
Adam Berner, the founder of our firm, was one of the first lawyers in the New York and New Jersey area to practice Alternative Dispute Resolution. He saw families torn apart by divorce and other conflicts as they navigated the court system. He knew there had to be a better way.
Adam built a practice that places clients first, recognizing that divorce has many dimensions: legal, emotional, psychological, and parental. He built a team that maintained the same values. Our team is made up of people who believe the work we do is crucial because a courtroom is not the place to resolve family issues. Our practice creates a trusting environment that facilitates conversation between divorcing spouses and other disputing parties, encouraging them to understand the facts of the situation, address each other’s priorities, and take charge of shaping their futures through mediation and collaborative law.

Moritt Hock & Hamroff was founded in 1980 by Neil J. Moritt. Initially the firm’s practice was devoted to the representation of commercial lenders and financial institutions in connection with their litigation, collection, workout and bankruptcy needs in the New York metropolitan area. During this time, the firm also focused on legal issues affecting companies engaged in the business of direct marketing to consumers through promotions, which included direct mail, sweepstakes, contests and space advertising. By the early 1990’s, the firm evolved into a full-service commercial law firm with extensive experience in the disciplines of general business litigation, equipment leasing, creditors’ rights, bankruptcy law, direct marketing, advertising and new media law, trademark and unfair competition, real estate, business succession planning, and corporate law.
In April 2000, the firm emerged as a leader in tax and trusts and estates after several attorneys from a prominent Long Island-based law firm joined Moritt Hock & Hamroff. In 2006 and 2007, the firm continued to expand its area of practice by establishing not-for-profit, securities, intellectual property and healthcare practice areas. The firm has expanded its Garden City office space to over 35,000 square feet in order to accommodate its growing team of attorneys and paralegals, and in June 2011, committed to a permanently staffed Manhattan office to better accommodate its growing practice and client base. With its move to 1407 Broadway in 2016, the firm confirmed its NYC commitment with double the space on the 39th floor. In 2017 the addition of the Goldberg & Connolly team established the firm as a leader in construction law, and the following year the addition of the Karol & Sosnik team bolstered the firm’s presence in tax, trusts and estates.
Throughout the process, the firm has sought to grow intelligently to meet its clients’ needs without outgrowing them. In 2023, the firm established its first permanently staffed office outside of New York when several attorneys from the former Ritter & Chusid LLP joined us with the opening of our Fort Lauderdale office, and significantly expanded its real estate, condominium and cooperative services practice in New York City with the addition of several attorneys from the former Ganfer Shore Leeds & Zauderer firm.
Today, with a team of more than 90 attorneys, we remain committed to our history and firm culture of providing our clients with the close personal attention they deserve. We also remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering collaboration among our attorneys in all disciplines to provide “Strength in Partnership” with our clients.

Phillips & Associates | Sexual Harassment, Discrimination & Employment Lawyers
Phillips & Associates is a New York employment law firm that represents employees in workplace sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation matters. The firm litigates employment cases only and has represented employees, not employers, since 2011. Every verdict and settlement it reports comes from an employment case, because employment litigation is the only litigation the firm handles. Its focus is workplace power dynamics, the situations in which supervisors, executives, business owners, law firm partners, physicians, managers, or founders use control over pay, promotions, assignments, scheduling, reputation, or continued employment to pursue, pressure, exploit, retaliate against, or punish employees.
The firm is ranked by Chambers and Partners in the 2026 Chambers USA Guide, Labor and Employment, Mainly Plaintiffs in New York, recognized in Best Law Firms 2026, and listed in The Best Lawyers in America 2026 for Litigation, Labor and Employment.
Phillips & Associates has recovered for employees across the full range of federal, New York State, and New York City protected categories, including race, color, sex, gender, pregnancy, disability, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, criminal history, caregiver status, marital status, military status, domestic violence victim status, and height and weight, as well as retaliation, whistleblower, sexual harassment, hostile work environment, medical and family leave, and wage and hour claims. The firm also handles workplace relationship harassment and retaliation, including matters in which a person in authority pursues an employee, a relationship with a superior goes wrong, or an employee is punished after rejecting an advance or ending a relationship.
Since 2011 the firm has handled more than 9,500 matters, litigated nearly 2,000 cases, filed more than 2,500 EEOC charges, and recovered more than $360 million for employees, including more than $60 million in 2025. It maintains more than 900 client reviews at a 4.8 average. The firm's attorneys have appeared before more than 110 United States District Judges and more than 70 United States Magistrate Judges, including a verified presence before nearly every currently sitting District Judge in the Southern District of New York and Eastern District of New York.
The firm has litigated against more than 550 distinct management-side defense firms, including Jackson Lewis, Littler Mendelson, Ogletree Deakins, Fisher & Phillips, Seyfarth Shaw, Morgan Lewis, and Proskauer Rose, on behalf of employees at Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, healthcare systems, national media organizations, and global law firms. That courtroom record gives the firm leverage to resolve matters favorably, often confidentially and before a complaint is filed. Employers and defense firms negotiate differently when they know the firm is prepared and able to take a case to trial.
The firm's published decisions include binding Second Circuit precedent. In Vasquez v. Empress Ambulance Service, authored by Judge Guido Calabresi, the Second Circuit adopted the cat's paw theory of retaliation and extended it to nonsupervisory employees. In Roberts v. Genting New York, the Second Circuit clarified the WARN Act operating-unit standard and revived a class action on behalf of 177 employees. The firm's New York decision in Crump v. New York City Housing Authority is cited by other courts for multiple propositions of New York City Human Rights Law doctrine. Its trial results include a $1.8 million federal jury verdict in Pardovani v. Crown Building Maintenance, a race-based hostile work environment case in the Southern District of New York.
The firm's matters have drawn national and international coverage. Firm attorneys represent a former fashion model in a federal lawsuit alleging sexual assault by Sean Combs and Harvey Weinstein, represent a former America's Next Top Model contestant in a federal lawsuit alleging sexual assault by Kanye West, and filed an early New York Adult Survivors Act case against Sean Combs. The firm's work has been covered by the BBC, Forbes, Bloomberg Law, Reuters, Rolling Stone, NBC News, People, and the New York Post.
High-profile and sensitive matters are handled by senior attorneys and dedicated litigation teams rather than a single public-facing name, with discretion, confidentiality planning, and practical judgment about reputation risk, retaliation, and media exposure. The firm represents employees and survivors whose careers, privacy, and futures may be affected by coming forward, and many of these matters are resolved without ever becoming public.
The firm was founded by William K. Phillips. Before practicing law, he served as a Vice President at Fieldstone Private Capital Group, a New York investment bank, where he handled international mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings. That background informs how the firm approaches valuation, leverage, negotiation, and the way institutions weigh risk when disputes involve senior executives, partners, physicians, high earners, founders, or potential public exposure.
Every client is represented by a dedicated litigation team led by a partner or senior litigator, typically a lead attorney, a supporting attorney, and a paralegal who stay involved from intake through resolution. The firm's attorneys bring more than 200 years of combined employment law experience, and many of its partners have litigated together for more than a decade. Unlike firms that rely on rotating attorneys or remote handoffs, Phillips & Associates works together in the office, collaborating in real time on litigation strategy, evidence development, witness preparation, damages analysis, and case valuation. All attorneys and staff are trained in trauma-informed representation.
The firm's founder created the National Plaintiffs' Summit on Sexual Harassment and Employment Discrimination, a national conference that brings together leading plaintiff-side employment lawyers, trial attorneys, and advocates from across the country, and the firm produces the Not in the (Company) Newsletter podcast.
Many clients contact the firm before reporting misconduct to human resources, resigning, signing a severance agreement, responding to an internal investigation, or filing with the EEOC or a state agency. Early strategic advice often shapes the outcome and helps employees avoid steps that can weaken a claim.
The firm works on contingency, with no attorney fees unless it recovers, and serves employees from six offices across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida, in New York City, Garden City, White Plains, Princeton, Philadelphia, and Miami. Free and confidential consultation. 866-229-9441.
