At Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman PC, our philosophy centers around concepts of client service, community involvement, and a people-friendly professional environment.

We are in the business of practicing law, not to exercise our academic skills but to provide practical solutions for our clients. Our approach combines highly-skilled lawyering with practical, bottom-line oriented advice. We urge our clients to adopt proactive policies toward legal-sensitive business issues with a view to preventing problems before they occur. This pro-active approach saves our clients time and money over the long run. Finally, while we have evolved over the past twenty years from a small firm to a regional-sized one, we are structured to maintain the quality of service and personal attention to client needs we have offered from the beginning.

We also take seriously our commitment to the business and professional community that has enabled our success. In two decades of practice, we have developed deep roots and extensive business and professional networks throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. In addition to involvement in key industry associations, our lawyers are active in the legal profession, and a number of our professionals have taken leadership positions in bar associations and as well as trade associations.

Finally, we recognize that the practice of law makes extraordinary demands on individuals and their families, so we make every effort to be a family-friendly law firm. We deliberately nurture a professional environment that fosters the development of sharp legal minds while respecting quality-of-life issues. We maintain an "open door" professional environment, where senior attorneys mentor younger associates both on individual cases and on firm-wide legal workshops.

Recruitment of new law school graduates and others to the firm is a key priority at Cohen Seglias. Our summer associate program, from which we cultivate the next generation of talent, draws top law students from leading law schools. Employment and advancement at Cohen Seglias takes place strictly on the basis of individual merit. And we make every effort to foster diversity among our high caliber professionals and support staff.
