William Sylianteng practices in our suburban Philadelphia office, located in Blue Bell, where he focuses primarily on large loss property subrogation. Will began his career at Bennett, Bricklin & Saltzburg, LLP and then worked for a year in the national property subrogation/recovery department of a large Philadelphia law firm. He returned to our firm in 2007. Will is licensed to practice in the state and federal courts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and is admitted to the federal courts (southern and eastern district) of New York.
Originally from southern California, Will attended California State University, Northridge and received his B.A. in Political Science. After graduation, Will attended Temple University Law School where he received his J.D. At Temple, Will received honors in Oral Advocacy, Evidence and Taxation. He also was the President of Temple’s Asian Pacific Law Student Association and was awarded the Bertram K. Wolfe Award for outstanding achievement in the second year of his legal studies.
In 2007, Will was named a "Lawyer on the Fast Track" by The Legal Intelligencer and PA Law Weekly, an honor given annually to 35 attorneys under the age of 40 who are recognized by their peers and the judiciary as the future leaders of the Commonwealth’s legal community. Will was also named a Pennsylvania SuperLawyer Rising Star in 2007. A designation bestowed on only the top 2.5% of Pennsylvania attorneys under the age of 40. He currently serves as the Co-Chairman of the Insurance Coverage & Subrogation Committee of the Pennsylvania Defense Institute (PDI), an organization made up of insurance attorneys, insurance executives, and self-insureds.
Will has also authored the following articles: Subrogating Spoliation, The Subrogator, p.60 (Fall 2007 ed.).
Having a background in electronic discovery (e-discovery), Will also counsels and assists our clients which anticipate being involved in or are already involved in matters where a large amount of data stored electronically is either requested by them or from them. As electronic discovery often times overwhelms a party during litigation, Will believes that the proper time to prepare for e-discovery is long before the filing of a lawsuit. In that regard, Will is happy to assist firm clients with the evaluation of their I.T. systems, management of discovery during litigation, and development of electronic document retention guidelines and best practices.
