Phillips Lytle history
Phillips Lytle company history timeline
The year was 1834, in the heart of a city in its infancy, “It was only 2 years old when Orsamus Marshall hung his shingle out, started a one-lawyer firm, that later, and eventually becomes Phillips Lytle” recalls current Managing Partner Kevin Hogan.
Grover Cleveland was a partner at the growing firm for nine years and Bissell for more than 30 years, starting in 1872.
The firm’s strong growth is attributed in part to Walter Cooke, who became a partner in 1897 and stayed on for more than 30 years.
In 1906, he recruited partner Daniel Kenefick, who was at the firm for 43 years.
A Rochester office was added by way of a merger with a banking firm in 1982.
The firm was renamed 34 times before it became Phillips Lytle LLP in 2003, a shortened version of the name Phillips Lytle Hitchcock Blaine & Huber.
In addition to seeing artifacts around the office and hearing stories about how long-ago partners shaped the firm, Fitzgerald, then a new associate, received a copy of “Firm Beliefs,” a book published in 2009 about the history of Phillips Lytle.
That was apparent to attorney Patrick Fitzgerald from his first day at the Buffalo law firm in 2012.
Powers was honored as “Citizen of the Year” in 2013 by the Clarence Chamber of Commerce and was inducted into the Clarence High School Wall of Fame the same year.
