Well, you just know that he s mentally dialing the league s insurance broker. That s how it is in a small legal department like the Mets , which consists of just Cohen and a paralegal plus the occasional intern. There s an almost entrepreneurial sense of being responsible for the whole ball of wax. But Cohen doesn t mind. I get to deal with a tremendously diverse set of legal issues, ranging from labor to contracts to corporate finance to intellectual property to immigration to criminal.
Every day is frenetic.
Cohen is not someone who grew up dreaming of a career in sports law. He grew up in Miami, entering the University of Florida College of Law in Gainesville when he was only 20. But litigation wasn t what he thought it would be. I got a little frustrated dealing with Plaintiff s Amended Response to Defendants 54th Set of Interrogatories. You seldom see the inside of a courtroom.
