ATLANTA, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP was named Benchmark Litigation's Georgia Firm of the Year for the second consecutive year at its U.S. Awards ceremony March 11 in New York City. In addition, Lori G. Cohen, vice chair of the firm and co-chair of the firm's Global Litigation Practice and Trial Practice, was recognized with the Hall of Fame award.

The Benchmark Litigation U.S. Awards honor the nation's top litigators and their firms for their outstanding achievements over the past year.

The group represents clients ranging from startups to some of the most prestigious brands in the United States and around the world across a broad spectrum of litigation matters, including commercial, products liability, environmental and toxic tort, real estate, bankruptcy, intellectual property, labor and employment, health care, white collar, and more.

Cohen's Hall of Fame award reflects a career defined by exceptional courtroom success and national influence. With 58 defense verdicts, she is recognized for leading one of the nation's most active trial practices, with a focus on complex litigation involving pharmaceutical, medical device, and health care matters. She has served as national, regional, and trial counsel for numerous medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers, handling class actions, multidistrict litigation, and major trials across the country.
