Sam has a wealth of legal knowledge and experience which, combined with her unique insight into the corporate world in both small and big business, enables her to provide clients with someone who understands how their business works and is able to resolve matters effectively and efficiently.
Before joining a large regional firm in which Sam quickly elevated through the ranks to Partner, Sam spent 15 years' experience in the building and construction, mining and civil engineering industries.That, combined with her innate ability to seize upon legal issues and get to the heart of a matter quickly, make Sam a formidable opponent.

Litigation permeates numerous areas of the law because of the simple fact that things can and do go wrong. How the dispute is managed correlates directly to its resolution and particularly, the time and expense incurred. Court action should not be taken lightly though. It's important to evaluate all options before taking the step of filing proceedings in court and engaging in litigation.
With a myriad of laws governing this area, it's important to get a construction lawyer that knows what they're talking about. Our lawyers have extensive experience in building and construction payment disputes.
For example, Samantha Cohen (Cohen Legal's Principal) has instructed Queen's Counsel in the High Court in relation to a matter under the Building and Construction Industry Payments Act 2004, in which the application of that legislation to mining leases was considered.Sam's client was successful in opposing the application for leave to appeal.

There's different ways people can carry on a business. For example, it can be in your own name, through a company or a partnership. What follows from that is there are different ways a dispute might be resolved because different laws can apply. Or perhaps what originally started as an exciting and new joint venture between people with a common aim has gone sour because one of the partners has not held up their end of the deal.
Buying a property is one of the largest investments that you will make during your lifetime. Here at Cohen Legal we are dedicated to ensuring that this process runs smoothly. Whether buying or selling we are here to provide you with a professional cost effective service to ensure that your matter is dealt with in a timely and efficient manner.

I have been incredibly happy with the recent support and legal advice provided by Sam and the team. I was unfamiliar with what was required of me from a legal perspective and Sam made sure that I had all the details necessary to make informed decisions. I was kept up to date consistently throughout the process, and I am very happy with my outcome.
Thanks Sam and the team at Cohen Legal.

Cohen Legal was recommended by a business contact.
Our business was basically insolvent. Thanks to Sam and Melanie our business not only survived but is now profitable.
Their expertise on insolvency, dealing with creditors and even how to protect directors was extraordinary and exactly what we needed during a very stressful time. Very knowledgeable and professional.
Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thanks again Sam and Melanie.

Last year Sam Cohen was referred to me through a mutual connection as I needed legal assistance with a matter at hand. From the very beginning, Sam was very professional, accommodating and genuinely cared about people she represents. I would have no hesitation in engaging or recommending Sam and her firm for any future works for myself, business, family and friends.
