What Cohen and Wolf, P.C. does

Cohen and Wolf, P.C. is a privately held, full-service law firm headquartered in Bridgeport, Connecticut, founded in 1951 by Herbert L. Cohen and Austin K. Wolf. The firm employs more than 50 attorneys organized across 24 distinct practice areas — including Business & Corporate, Employment Counseling & Litigation, Real Estate, Litigation & Dispute Resolution, Elder Law, Trusts & Estates, Municipal, Healthcare, and Higher Education — and operates from five Connecticut offices in Bridgeport, Danbury, Westport, Trumbull, and Hartford. Cohen and Wolf generates revenue exclusively through professional legal fees billed to clients across its practice areas, with engagement models spanning hourly, flat-fee, contingency, and alternative fee arrangements as appropriate to each matter.

The firm serves a diversified client base spanning individuals and families (estate planning, elder law, family law, personal injury), small to mid-sized businesses and corporations (M&A, commercial finance, real estate, employment, securities), Connecticut municipalities (acting as Town Attorney and on governance matters), healthcare providers, and higher education institutions. Notable matters include serving as lead counsel to Consumers Petroleum of Connecticut in its $151 million sale to Global Partners LP — which earned the firm an M&A Advisor "Deal of the Year" award in 2022 — and ongoing representation of lenders and developers in commercial finance and affordable housing transactions.

Cohen and Wolf's go-to-market is relationship-led and reputation-driven: the firm acquires work through professional referrals, community involvement, civic board participation, and consistent recognition in Chambers USA, The Legal 500 U.S., Best Lawyers in America, Super Lawyers, Benchmark Litigation, and Lawdragon. As of January 2026, the firm is led by Co-Managing Partners Jocelyn B. Hurwitz and Stuart M. Katz following a leadership succession. The firm has no disclosed proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or external investment, operating as a traditional professional services partnership with the firm's intellectual capital (attorney expertise and institutional reputation) as its core asset.
