Channel Eye featured Alexandra Cohen in their “Meet the Entrepreneur” series, exploring her journey from law firm associate to founding Cohen Family Law and her vision for redefining the client experience in family law.
“Launching my own firm has given me the freedom to do things differently and to truly focus on helping people in a way that aligns with my values.”
The Journey to Independence
After spending almost a decade at the same firm specialising in family law, Alexandra realised the timing was right to build something of her own. “I had always had the idea of going solo in the back of my mind, and after ten years, the timing just felt right. I realised that I could build something of my own using experience I had built but executing things in a more family friendly way.”
A Different Approach
The interview highlights what makes Cohen Family Law distinctive: a modern, personal, and values-led service where clients deal directly with Alexandra. She explains her approach: “I avoid wearing a suit unless I am in court because meeting a lawyer in full formalwear while going through one of the hardest times in your life can feel pretty intimidating. I keep things grounded, speak in plain English and focus on the bigger picture.”
Best Advice
When asked about the best entrepreneurial advice she’d received, Alexandra shared: “If you don’t do it now, you’ll never do it.” She emphasises the importance of surrounding yourself with positive people and having the confidence to take the leap when the timing feels right.
