By: Adrian Cruz

Cohen Seglias Pallas Greenhall & Furman PC announced that it has hired a Pittsburgh-based senior counsel to grow its capabilities in the real estate and business transactional practice areas.

Rachel James joined Cohen Seglias in January following a three-year stint with the Pittsburgh firm Sherrard German & Kelly PC. She told Law360 Pulse on Friday she was drawn to Cohen Seglias because of the ability to remain in Pittsburgh while diversifying her client base, citing the firm’s operations in nine different locations including New York; Washington, D.C.; and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“We are excited to welcome Rachel to the firm and know that her experience will add depth to our team and benefit our clients throughout the state,” business transactions and real estate Chair Marian Kornilowicz said in a statement.
