ATLANTA – June 15, 2026 – Lori G. Cohen, vice chair of global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP and co-chair of the firm’s Global Litigation Practice and Trial Practice Group, has been named to Forbes’ inaugural 2026 “America’s Top Women Lawyers” list. The list recognizes 200 women attorneys in private practice for the skill, dedication, and judgment they bring to high-stakes legal work.
According to Forbes, honorees were selected through a multistep evaluation process that reviewed thousands of nominees and considered notable litigation, leadership, client impact, firm and community involvement, and recognition within the broader legal industry. Forbes notes that the roster spotlights leaders, rainmakers, trusted counselors, innovators, mentors, and changemakers who are reshaping the legal industry.
“I am honored to be included on Forbes’ inaugural list alongside so many accomplished women lawyers,” Cohen said. “This recognition is especially meaningful because it reflects the trust clients place in us, the strength of the colleagues I work with across Greenberg Traurig, and the opportunity to mentor and support the next generation of trial lawyers.”
Recognized for her record of 58 defense verdicts, Cohen focuses on high-stakes products liability, pharmaceutical, medical device, and health care litigation. She has served as national, regional, and trial counsel for major medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers in class actions, multidistrict litigation, and trials nationwide.
