Hiller, PC is a general practice boutique law firm headquartered on Lexington Avenue in New York City. HPC handles sophisticated legal matters including business and commercial litigation, business and corporate law and transactions, cannabis law, insurance law (representing policyholders only), disability insurance law (representing policyholders only), and land use, zoning and preservation matters (opposition work only). With more than 100 years’ experience among the members of our team, our focus at HPC is on obtaining results for our clients. And we get them.
In each area of our practice, members of our firm have become leaders in their fields, establishing landmark precedents and securing multi-million dollar judgments and settlements, as well as closing lucrative commercial transactions on behalf of the firm’s clients.
In connection with our work, Hiller, PC routinely competes with, and has soundly defeated, many of America’s largest and most expensive law firms.
Most importantly, Hiller, PC is able to provide clients with the best of both worlds: delivery of the high quality legal services often associated with big firms, in an environment of personal client attention that can only be found with boutiques. Our clients include individuals, community groups, environmental organizations, preservationists, small businesses and start-ups, closely-held corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and sole proprietors in a broad range of civil matters throughout the United States.
