Cohen Firm Tackles Bankruptcy Field, Enlists Intern Help

Many Southern California businesses and individuals are struggling to survive the recent recession and are finding the best solution to their financial problems lies in declaring bankruptcy. According to a recent article in the Wall Street Journal, the number of bankruptcies filed in the U.S. increased by nine percent last year.* The jump in bankruptcies has increased the demand for legal advice and representation during corporate and consumer financial crises, a need the Cohen Firm seeks to meet as it extends its services to include bankruptcies.

As current and aspiring law students, the new interns will contribute to both marketing and daily operations, gaining valuable experience not only in bankruptcy law but in the intricate process of starting a new firm. Recognizing the recent influence of technology on people’s search for legal aid, the Cohen Firm hopes to build clientele through innovative online marketing strategies.
