Senior Associate Jake Cohen has been featured in the 2025 edition of The Lawyer Hot 100. This highly anticipated annual list recognises the successes of lawyers from in-house, private practice and the Bar, as well as those who are shaping the legal profession. The 100 lawyers on the list are selected for the excellent work they are doing at the present moment, with talented rising stars rubbing shoulders with eminent lawyers who have years of success behind them.
Jake’s entry highlights his ground-breaking work in the field of sports law, with The Lawyer noting that “Cohen has been advising many athletes since they were academy players and the trust relationship he has with these high-net-worth individuals is such that word of mouth regularly brings new instructions — such as a popular grime artist who is now on the books. Institutional relationships with clubs complement the work for individual athletes: new American owners are another big client base. There’s plenty more market share to go at. This team is set to grow and grow.”
Commenting on his recognition, Jake said: “I’m delighted to be included in a list filled with so many brilliant colleagues who are doing genuinely incredible work. Any personal recognition I receive is a direct result of being very lucky to have an incredible team at Lawrence Stephens – Mo Pasricha, Will Bowyer, Angelique Richardson, Andy Wallis and Anna Chasioti-Metson) and amazing clients who have trusted us with the privilege and responsibility of advising them.”
