Career
Lori G. Cohen is co-chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Global Litigation Practice, leading a group of over 600 attorneys nationally and internationally. Lori is chair of the Trial Practice Group, her “brain child,” which she created at GT. Lori is also chair of the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device & Health Care Litigation Practice, a nationally renowned group that Lori built upon joining GT. Under Lori’s leadership, this practice has risen through the ranks and has grown to include over 100 attorneys in more than 30 offices in the U.S. and globally; in 2018, the group was named The American Lawyer’s “Product Liability Litigation Department of the Year.” Lori is also co-chair of the Atlanta Litigation Practice and a member of the firm’s Executive Committee.
Nationally recognized for her extraordinary trial record of 57 defense verdicts, Lori leads a global practice that focuses on complex litigation of all types including products liability and pharmaceutical, medical device, and health care litigation. Lori has served as national, regional, and trial counsel for numerous medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers, handling all types of litigation, including class actions, multidistrict litigation, and trials nationally. Lori and her team routinely take complex cases to trial and win, including some of the most complex mass torts in history. Well known for her ability to win high-stakes trials, Lori is often called upon to “parachute in” at the last minute before trial, especially in challenging cases in dangerous jurisdictions.
