Kadeem Wolliaston (Associate-Albany) is quoted extensively in the article “Next Gen: Millennial Attorneys on What They’ve Learned and Where They’re Headed,” appearing in the Upstate New York edition of Super Lawyers® magazine on September 28, 2026. The 20^th Anniversary edition features Kadeem and three other attorneys ‒ all Super Lawyers Rising Star listees ‒ on its cover and interviews them about their roots, what drew them to the practice of law, early obstacles, and their thoughts about the road ahead. Kadeem, a first-generation American from a Jamaican family, explains, “I was drawn to the law because it is one of those professions where your mind is constantly being challenged. What appealed to me … was that the law is not static: You’re constantly solving problems, advocating, analyzing risks, communicating with different audiences, and wearing different hats.” When questioned about what he might change about his chosen profession, Kadeem expresses that “litigation is naturally adversarial, and that’s part of the job, but there is a difference between advocacy and making the process harder than it should be. At times, the practice can be delayed with posturing instead of focusing on the actual dispute and a path towards resolution.” Kadeem has earned the respect of clients and colleagues alike, with a practice focus that includes civil litigation, insurance coverage disputes, health care matters, and appellate work.
