YORK, July 2, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Greenberg Traurig Vice Chair and Global Litigation and Trial
Practices Co-Chair Lori G. Cohen was
honored at the Association of Corporate Counsel Foundation's 2024
Global Women in Law and Leadership Symposium and Honors Dinner.
During the symposium, Greenberg Traurig Labor & Employment
Shareholder and Chair of the firm's Washington, D.C. Labor and Employment Practice
Group Johnine P. Barnes moderated the panel, "The Global Rise of
Women in the Workplace." Morgan Stanley Vice Chairman, Managing
Director, and Senior Client Advisor Carla
Harris was the keynote speaker.
Cohen was honored due to her resilience and perseverance in
finding an innovative way to communicate after losing her ability
to speak in March 2022. Cohen, who is
vice chair of Greenberg Traurig and leads 700+ attorneys nationally
and internationally as co-chair of GT's global Litigation Practice,
is nationally recognized for her trial record of 58 defense
verdicts. She also is founder of GT's Pharmaceutical, Medical
Device & Health Care Practice and its Trial Practice. In all
these roles, Cohen depends on her significant ability to advocate
and persuade, using her voice to do so.
To regain her voice, Cohen explored many possible
technology-driven solutions, eventually finding one that could help
to a meaningful degree: Working with her long-time trial
technologist Gerard Buitrago, they
discovered Eleven Labs, an AI voice generation company providing
the possibility of creating an AI voice that sounds like Cohen and
used for presentations/courtroom work. Together, they customized
the technology Cohen now uses as a trial lawyer and a Greenberg
Traurig leader. Recognizing this innovative, ongoing work impacting
voice generating AI for those who need it in the legal industry and
beyond, American Lawyer Media awarded Cohen and Buitrago its
first-ever Outstanding Achievement in Legal Technology Award in
2023. Buitrago also attended the ACC Foundation event.
Barnes, resident in the firm's Washington, D.C. office, has wide-ranging
experience in labor and employment law. She is nationally
recognized by many publications including U.S. Chambers and
Partners, Benchmark Litigation and SuperLawyers for her labor and
employment practice, which includes. In addition, Barnes also is
recognized by Lawdragon as a Lawdragon Legend, a Leading Lawyer in
America, and as a Leading U.S. Corporate Employment Lawyer. She is
experienced in counseling clients on various compliance matters,
including wage and hour issues, worker classifications, employee
leave, workplace policies and procedures and government
contracting; and in litigating and defending claims of harassment,
retaliation, discrimination, wrongful discharge, and breach of
contract and non-compete disputes. She has experience assisting
clients with non-compete agreements and contract disputes, trade
secret matters, international disputes, white-collar crime claims,
property interest disputes and legislative matters.
