Law Firm Overview

Cohen & Gresser is a unique law firm that offers its clients a compelling alternative in today's economy: sophisticated legal services at hourly rates that are 20 percent to 30 percent below the rates charged by large New York City law firms. The Firm represents clients in complex litigation and corporate transactions throughout the United States and internationally.  Founded in 2002 by two Michigan Law School classmates, the Firm has grown to over thirty lawyers in four practice groups: Litigation and Arbitration; Corporate Law; Intellectual Property; and White Collar Defense, Regulatory Enforcement and Internal Investigations. We are committed to providing the efficiency and personal service of a small firm and the quality and attention to detail that are hallmarks of the top firms where we received our training.

Our attorneys are graduates of the nation's best law schools, including Chicago, Columbia, Michigan, NYU and Yale, and received their initial training at some of the finest law firms in the country, including Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Cravath, Swaine & Moore, Davis Polk & Wardwell, Debevoise & Plimpton, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, Latham & Watkins, Ropes & Gray, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett, and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.   

Our clients include Fortune 500 companies and major financial institutions across a broad spectrum of industries throughout the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia, and have litigated and negotiated against some of the nation's largest law firms.  We have an outstanding record of success in high-stakes and high profile litigation and corporate transactions, and we rank among the nation's top firms for client service.  Three of our attorneys have been selected as 2008 New York City Super Lawyers, and our Firm received the honor of being named to the BTI Consulting Group's 2009 Client Service A-Team, based on an independent survey of corporate counsel at Fortune 1000 and other large companies

Our core values are excellence, integrity, responsiveness and collegiality. Our services are cost-effective, tailored to the needs of each client, and of the highest quality. We staff our matters leanly, and work efficiently and strategically. Our goal is to provide solutions, not just legal services.
