Heller Ehrman (Los Angeles) Has a Diva-licious New Leader
Some of our prior coverage of Heller Ehrman has been a bit gloomy. We take it all back. Now that the firm's Los Angeles office is under a magnificent new leader -- Nancy Sher Cohen, whom we have previously praised in these pages -- we see nothing but good things ahead.
Legal Pad conducts a very interesting interview with Nancy Cohen. Here's an excerpt:
Legal Pad: How do you feel about “Above the Law” blog calling you “divalicious”?Cohen: I found out about it from several associate who came to show it to me. Isn’t that funny? I just looked at it and howled. There is a lesson there. You just never know who is going to be writing about you, thinking about you, making comments about you. It’s a reminder that you should always do your best and always be sensitive and nice, civil.
We're confused. Does Ms. Cohen think that we were speaking negatively of her? To the contrary, we had only good things to say. From our prior post:
When we were in private practice, our experiences with Heller Ehrman were quite positive. We attended several depositions defended by the diva-licious Nancy Sher Cohen, who protected her witnesses like a lioness protecting her cubs. We were most impressed by this badass litigatrix (who is also a community activist and cancer survivor; see this profile).
As for the "diva-licious" quip, let the record reflect that the term "diva" is ATL's highest form of praise. Longtime readers are well aware of our obsession with strong-willed women -- especially women who have managed to achieve tremendous success in a traditionally male-dominated field like law.
This is why we are such fans of Senatrix Hillary Clinton, who is a tough, smart, fearless leader. We have no clue why some of you seem to think we don't like her. We think Senator Clinton is fabulous.

First up in here.
Good God Lat, the links are just too much.
L2L has hope.
HILARIOUS that Lat scooped up those domains.
Nancy Cohen is hot. That is all.
Agreed, 5:06.
Oh, and some popup from ATL crashed my computer. I'll have to restrict this site pretty soon if this keeps up.
She's clearly saying that she has to watch out what she says because she never knows who is listening/watching/blogging.
I think she was merely saying that she wouldn't have expected someone who was once at a deposition with her to post comments about her on a widely-read legal tabloid.
I don't think she thought you were insulting her.
As for the domain names, some of those are just disgusting, but I'm assuming that you staked a claim on them in hopes of later selling them to the Clinton campaign, so that you could then donate all of that Clinton cash to the GOP.
HOLY SHIT ITS A SLOW DAY AT ATL
hillary is my homegirl.
Guys in my high school...no big deal.
Speaking of schtiktastic where is SLJ?
Lat - i feel ashamed for you every time you use the bterm "diva" to refer to a woman. you're becoming a cliche.
Lat should start a blog focused on gay issues. I have a feeling it would be fabulous.
A "Climate Change" practice group? ridiculous.
doesn't change the fact that Heller SUCKS
5:26 and 5:57 are right on, she didn't think that you were insulting her. Read what she said again.
Lat, as a lesbian reader, I second the pleas for you to start a blog focused on gay issues. Dude, you don't have to come out (and I don't care even if you identify as straight, whatever.) It would be the most fabulous gayity gay gay gay blog this side of...ever. PLEASE. Your queer readers need you to perform this public service.
Lat already had a blog focused on gay issues. It was called Underneath Their Robes.
