If you want a firm that dominates insurance coverage and commercial litigation while operating as one of the most entrepreneurial platforms in the Am Law 100, Cozen O'Connor is worth serious attention. With approximately 850 attorneys in over 30 offices, this Philadelphia-headquartered firm ranks 77th on the Am Law 100 and has earned national recognition across 31 practice areas from Best Lawyers, with multiple attorneys holding Band 1 and Band 2 rankings from Chambers USA in insurance.
Cozen O'Connor's insurance coverage and subrogation practice is among the largest and most respected in the country, handling complex policyholder and insurer-side matters across every line of coverage. The firm's commercial litigation practice is equally formidable, and Cozen has built nationally recognized practices in transportation, labor and employment, real estate, and government relations. The firm represents a diverse client base from Fortune 500 companies to mid-market businesses.
The culture at Cozen is entrepreneurial, high-energy, and deeply rooted in Philadelphia. The firm uses a free-market system and encourages summer associates to take ownership of their experience. Partners are accessible and associates report a genuine team-first mentality. The firm's managing shareholder has built a culture that values hustle and client service above all else.
