Sean Kiley joined the firm as a senior associate in August 2025, bringing with him a breadth of
litigation experience and a reputation for rigorous advocacy. His practice focuses on employment
law, land use, personal injury, and commercial litigation, where he is recognized for his
meticulous preparation, strategic insight, and unwavering dedication to client success.
Before joining the firm, Sean honed his skills at prominent law firms in Bergen, Essex, and
Morris counties specializing in insurance defense, where he represented institutional and
corporate clients in complex and sensitive matters including institutional sexual abuse claims,
personal injury, products liability, intentional torts, slip and fall accidents, and motor vehicle
accidents. His experience extends further into municipal law, regulatory compliance, and land
use, giving him a versatile command of both courtroom dexterity and preventative counseling.
Sean holds dual Bachelor of Arts degrees in Political Science and Legal Studies from William
Paterson University. His academic foundation was further enriched during a summer abroad at
the University of Cambridge, where he studied Comparative Constitutional Law and
International Relations. Sean earned his Juris Doctor from Maurice A. Deane School of Law at
Hofstra University, where he was awarded the Silver Pro Bono Service Award in recognition of
over 500 hours dedicated to public service during his final year.
Sean’s experience is further complemented by his service as law clerk to the Honorable Ernest
M. Caposela, A.J.S.C. (Ret.), in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Passaic Vicinage. In that role,
he contributed to the adjudication of intricate civil and criminal matters, including cases of first
impression. That experience sharpened his analytical approach and judicial perspective.
In practice, Sean couples his formidable courtroom acumen with a proactive approach to dispute
resolution. He regularly advises clients on contractual and employment disputes, offering
strategic guidance designed to mitigate risk and prevent costly litigation. His work in land use
similarly reflects a commitment to precision and foresight, ensuring that clients’ ambitions and
objectives are advanced while navigating complex regulatory frameworks.
