Anderson Kill was founded in 1969 on the principles of integrity, excellence in the practice of law, and straightforward solutions to complex legal issues. The firm's attorneys approach engagements aggressively, and have earned a reputation for combining corporate polish with pugnacity. Based in New York City, the firm also has offices in Ventura, CA, Philadelphia, PA, Stamford, CT, Washington, DC, Newark, NJ and Dallas, TX, but the attorneys travel around the country and around the world to handle all types of matters. Anderson Kill attorneys work together, leveraging creativity and legal and business acumen to deliver cost-effective resolutions to clients' problems. Many of the firm's professionals are recognized experts in their practice areas, leaders and active participants in professional associations, and are frequently invited to speak to business organizations. Anderson Kill clients include some of the nation's largest public and private entities, including companies in financial services, retail, oil/gas, telecommunications, construction, food supply, technology, pharmaceutical and life sciences, and utilities, municipalities and state governments, religious and not-for-profit organizations, small companies and individuals. Anderson Kill prides itself on attracting and retaining intelligent, personable and well-rounded attorneys. Smart attorneys with sharp skills, excellent client service, and a track record to prove it: that is the Anderson Kill difference.
Anderson Kill P.C. practices law in the following areas and works with its clients to provide the best possible legal solutions.
Anderson Kill P.C. follows the set of hiring criteria outlined below.
Anderson seeks to hire interesting people from diverse backgrounds; the firm looks for "an eclectic group of students without paying a lot of attention to grades." The on-campus interviews with Anderson are "casual; in fact maybe not enough information about what the firm is really like is discussed," we were told. One person advised that applicants should not be afraid to voice their opinions on social and political issues. The firm prefers people who can argue persuasively for their own views.
The firm has rebuilt its intellectual property practice after some attorney departures a few years ago. Anderson encourages young lawyers to handle pro bono matters, particularly since such cases can provide valuable courtroom experience. Attorneys become engaged in pro bono projects ranging from asylum law to tenant advocacy.
In recent years, a woman has been one of Anderson's top billers and four of the fifteen members of the most recent Board of Directors are women. The firm reportedly is flexible about maternity and paternity leave arrangements and family emergencies. There are only a few minorities at the firm, and almost all are below fourth year. "Those above that do not seem to have a voice," one insider remarked. Despite the generally progressive politics of individual attorneys, "the firm does have a problem recruiting minorities. There does seem to be a huge gap between theory and practice in minority hiring," we were told.
The work portion of the summer program received mixed reviews, the chief criticism being the somewhat limited exposure to the firm's practice areas. One summer associate informed us that "although most of us wanted exposure to all possible areas of practice, the great majority had to concentrate on the commercial litigation and bankruptcy assignments. Corporate work is available but summers really had to demand it to get any."
