Nancy L. Cohen is a member at Cohen|Black Law, LLC. Having previously been a partner at Lewis Brisbois in the professional liability practice group, Nancy continues to defend lawyers and judges, healthcare and mental health professionals, accountants and insurance and real estate brokers in malpractice claims, business tort litigation and regulatory matters. Nancy represents clients in complex commercial litigation, including real estate lawsuits and business disputes, and defends clients on D&O claims.
Nancy is a trial lawyer with 38 years of experience, at both Colorado State and Federal levels, including trials and appeals. Before returning to private practice in 2010, Nancy was the Chief Deputy for the Colorado Supreme Court Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel. Through this experience, Nancy garnered an understanding for the stress her clients experience when malpractice claims or a disciplinary matter are asserted that can impact their livelihood or professional reputation.
With a philosophy of being prepared for trial and working closely with her clients, Nancy aims to achieve the best possible outcome, under the circumstances, for every client. She focuses on her client’s objectives and vigorously defends them. Nancy also recognizes the risks of litigation for both individuals and private companies and understands that sometimes the best outcome for the client is to resolve a matter pre-litigation.
Nancy counsels law firms and attorneys on ethics and legal advice, discerning that addressing issues early can oftentimes help lawyers avoid costly mistakes.
Nancy believes in giving back to her community. She served as president of the Denver Bar Association, past chairman and board member of Family Star (an early Montessori Head Start School) and was a member of the ABA Standing Committees on Professional Discipline and Client Protection. Nancy also taught at the National Institute for Trial Advocacy. In 2014, she was elected a member of American Law Institute. She is currently a member of the Colorado Supreme Court Standing Committee on the Rules of Professional Conduct, Colorado Supreme Court Advisory Committee and the Colorado Bar Association Ethics Committee.
When she is not practicing law, Nancy can be found skiing, biking and cooking with family and friends.
