"In this episode of the Jabot podcast, I chat with Sandra Cohen, co-managing partner at Cohen & Buckmann. Sandra shares her journey from HR to law, specializing in executive compensation and employee benefits. Discover the challenges and rewards of running a boutique law firm and gain insights into the niche legal field of ERISA. It's a must-listen for those curious about dynamic law careers and the evolving landscape of boutique legal practices!"
"The Jabot podcast is an offshoot of the Above the Law brand focused on the challenges women, people of color, LGBTQIA, and other diverse populations face in the legal industry. Our name comes from none other than the Notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the jabot (decorative collar) she wore when delivering dissents from the bench. It's a reminder that even when we aren't winning, we're still a powerful force to be reckoned with."
Sandra Cohen transitioned from human resources into law and now serves as co-managing partner at Cohen & Buckmann, focusing on executive compensation and employee benefits. The niche practice navigates ERISA and tax specializations alongside complex corporate work. Founding a boutique law firm brought both challenges and rewards, including strategic teaming with small or boutique firms and the necessity of smart hiring. Networking is framed as making friends rather than collecting connections. Promoting a firm requires articulating unique strengths. The role demands balancing technical specialization with client service and business development in an evolving legal landscape.
