Cohen & Buckmann Marks 10 Years as Specialized Boutiques Reshape Premium Advisory Work

Issued by Cohen & Buckmann P.C.

Jan. 30, 2026

New York, New York — Boutique executive compensation and employee benefits law firm Cohen & Buckmann P.C. is marking its 10th anniversary in 2026, reflecting a decade of focused advisory work at a time when the legal market continues to evolve toward specialization.

Ten years ago, the firm was founded on a core principle shaped by Wall Street experience: that the most sophisticated executive compensation and employee benefits advice should not be limited by market convention, industry or company size.

Sandra Cohen and Carol Buckmann set out to operate as a senior-level boutique, focused exclusively on the benefits and compensation matters for which experience, judgment and discretion are essential. The aim was not growth for its own sake, but depth — and a model that could serve leading companies, executives and law firms facing their most consequential decisions.

Now, the market increasingly reflects that original belief, as specialized boutiques have become a go-to destination for premium advisory work.

“We are grateful to the clients, colleagues and collaborators who have shaped the firm over the past 10 years and entrusted it with work of the highest importance,” Cohen said.

Throughout 2026, Cohen & Buckmann will mark its 10th anniversary with a series of conversations, reflections and collaborations examining the lessons of the past decade and the benefits and compensation issues that will define the next.
