In an age where Wall Street banks are sometimes blamed for abuses that led to the recession, the banks' go-to lawyer H. Rodgin Cohen—often known simply as Rodge—maintains enormous respect from both clients and government regulators alike.
His work on behalf of banks was often critical to their survival during the financial crisis, while he was involved in shaping key concepts that made their way into legislation such as the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
