On May 1, 2011, Robert. S. Cohen merged his then-practice (Cohen Lans LLP) with Bernard Clair’s then-practice (Clair Greifer LLP) to form what is today universally regarded as one of the preeminent matrimonial and family law firms in the world (Cohen Clair). By the time of their merger, Bob and Bern were already regarded among the “best of the best” matrimonial lawyers and had authored multiple books on matrimonial law. Their respective law firms were named among the “Best” in the 2010 inaugural edition of “Best Law Firms” by U.S. News and World Report. Cohen Clair has since achieved that recognition and honor in each subsequent edition, and Cohen Clair is one of only two law firms to have been selected by Chambers and Partners for inclusion in the “Top Tier” of matrimonial law firms.
Since the 2011 merger, the firm has grown by every measure – most importantly performance. Their clients often come to them with difficult personal situations, seeking creative solutions on novel issues – and they deliver. Cohen Clair has appeared as counsel of record in important published matrimonial decisions in New York State since its inception. Over the past few years alone, their firm has been called upon to represent spouses in the most significant, precedent-setting matters that have arisen over that time, often garnering worldwide attention. They have settled many of those cases quickly and discreetly and tried others to successful completion, including the largest equitable distribution case ever tried in New York State.
No worries, let’s reset the password now.
