5 min read

Phil Hamzik, an associate in Wolf Greenfield’s Pharmaceutical Practice, has been named to The Outstanding Future Leaders Role Model List 2024 supported by YouTube. Phil is one of just 100 people selected globally for this category. 

The global lists champion trailblazers across businesses who are driving inclusion and increasing representation for LGBTQ+ employees across global organizations. Role Models featured in the Outstanding Role Model Lists do not work professionally in DEI but represent the wide range of individuals who have made it their personal mission to make a difference.   

Phil helps clients build and manage US and international patent portfolios in the areas of pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. He regularly secures comprehensive patent protection on behalf of clients, including patents covering clinical development candidates and pharmaceutical products. From protecting key platform technologies to advising on drug product life cycle management, Phil works closely with clients to develop IP strategies aligned with their business goals. 

As a scientist and IP attorney, Phil is dedicated to fostering collaboration and justice within the LGBTQ+ community across industries.  

In addition to his daily practice, Phil is active in leading causes that support those traditionally underrepresented both in the law and by the law, working with various legal and LGBTQ+ specific organizations. For instance: 

  • Phil currently serves on the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts LGBTQ Bar Association, working to connect and empower LGBTQ+ attorneys through networking, law student mentoring and scholarship, legislative advocacy, and more.
  • He is an active member of the National LGBTQ+ Bar Association. 
  • He is an active member of OUTbio, the biotech industry’s largest LGBTQ+ professionals group. 
  • He serves as chair of Wolf Greenfield’s LGBTQ+ Affinity Group. 
  • He currently co-chairs the Greater Boston Legal Services (GBLS) Associates Fund Drive. He previously served as co-captain of Wolf Greenfield’s efforts for four consecutive years. Each year, he helped lead Wolf Greenfield in raising more than any other firm participating in the drive. These funds support the GBLS Family Law Unit, which provides free civil legal aid to low-income survivors of domestic violence. 
  • He is an alumni member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity (LCLD).
