Removing Anita Hill

Anita Hill has left the firm. She is no longer listed among the professionals on Cohen Milstein's website: https://www.cohenmilstein.com/our-people/H. Could someone please remove the sentence referencing her in the first paragraph? 38.142.23.130 (talk) 13:09, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I changed Anita Hill to the past tense for now. Someone else can decide if she should be completely removed from the article. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:43, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for following WP:COI procedure, by the way. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 13:45, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Number of offices

I'm an employee of Cohen Milstein. I just wanted to point out that the firm now has eight offices, not six: https://www.cohenmilstein.com/about-us/#locations

Could someone please update? 38.142.23.130 (talk) 14:28, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correcting the Firm's Name

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello editors! Cohen Milstein has hired me to update its Wikipedia page. I'd like to start with a simple request about the firm's name. What do you think? Many thanks. Signed, BlueRoses13 (talk) 14:31, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first sentence says this:

Cohen Milstein is an American plaintiffs' law firm...

We’d like to use the firm’s full name, which you can verify in these articles from Reuters and in Cohen’s privacy policy. Thus:

Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC is an American plaintiffs' law firm…

Alternatively, we might use both the full and short name, as the pages for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom do:

Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC (often simply known as Cohen Milstein) is an American plaintiffs' law firm...

Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC (typically shortened to Cohen Milstein) is an American plaintiffs' law firm...

Done. Marquardtika (talk) 14:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Signed, BlueRoses13 (talk) 19:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Trump Lawsuits

The lead section says this:

The firm filed a number of lawsuits against Donald Trump during and after his presidency, including a lawsuit which successfully blocked the Trump administration's attempt to roll back the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

This is incorrect: As the footnotes in the “Lawsuits against Donald Trump” section make clear, two lawsuits were filed against Trump; a third (DACA) was filed against the Trump administration. Thus, can we tweak the sentence as follows:

The firm has filed two lawsuits against Donald Trump during and after his presidency, as well a lawsuit which successfully blocked the Trump administration's attempt to roll back the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

Anita Hill

The lead section says this:

Anita Hill was formerly of counsel at Cohen Milstein.^[1]

Calling out an individual in the lead section seems to give the individual undue weight (violating WP:WEIGHT) — especially when that individual is not named elsewhere. Similarly, the individual’s association with Cohen Milstein isn’t terribly newsworthy (violating WP:LEADREL). We therefore request that this sentence be removed from the lead.

At the same time, might it make sense to create a “notable alumni” section — similar to what’s done in the pages for other law firms such as King & Wood Mallesons and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom — and include Hill here? Here's sample language:

Notable alumni
The following people have worked at Cohen Milstein:

* Anita Hill^[2]
* Lina Khan^[3]
* Kalpana Kotagal^[4]
* Jenny R. Yang^[5]

I’m tagging @Skywatcher68, since they were part of a conversation, from 2022, about removing Hill.
