As featured in Law360 Pulse, Wendy Cohen will become the new managing partner of the New York office on June 1 after 25 years with the firm. Wendy spoke with Law360 Pulse about her long, fulfilling path to partnership, including a five-year hiatus to start a family, in hopes that her story will help other women figure out their own path forward.
"Being made office managing partner for me is sort of the culmination of that path. And part of the reason that I'm so excited about it is because I think that women today have a little bit more opportunity and flexibility, especially in this post-COVID world," Wendy said.
Lance Zinman, global chair of Katten's financial markets and funds practice, praised Wendy's elevation to managing partner.
"Wendy is an exceptional lawyer and leader who gives her all to our clients and has proven commitment to fostering the success of other lawyers, particularly women, especially in the field of finance," Lance said. "Those commendable qualities and others will enhance her efforts as office managing partner to continue spurring strategic growth not just in our New York office but throughout the firm."
