Three attorneys from Cohn & Dussi were named to the 2024 Super Lawyers List: Lewis J. Cohn, Michael H. Theodore and Shawn M. Masterson. One attorney was named to the 2024 Rising Stars List: Andrew B. Glaab.

Only 5 percent of lawyers are named to the Super Lawyers List each year. The selection process involves independent research, peer nominations, and peer evaluations by practice area. 

Cohn, the firm’s managing partner, represents lenders in all phases of the commercial loan process, with a special expertise in the collection, workout, and liquidation of troubled debt. He serves as chair of Cohn & Dussi’s Financial Services Group. Working closely with the firm’s Commercial Litigation Group, Lewis handles a wide variety of commercial litigation cases. 

Theodore, a partner at the firm, leads the Creditors’ Rights & Bankruptcy Department and is a member of the firm’s Litigation Department. He represents lenders, financial institutions, and debt buyers, in creditors’ rights, workouts, commercial and bankruptcy matters. He has extensive experience in commercial foreclosures and asset-based financing and has represented the interests of bankruptcy trustees. 

Masterson, a senior associate in the firm’s Litigation Department, has more than 20 years of experience in creditors’ rights, particularly in residential mortgage defaults. He has represented clients in appellate courts across New England, including the First Circuit Court of Appeals and the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel.

Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by Super Lawyers to receive this honor. All attorneys named to the Rising Stars list must be either 40 years old or younger or in practice for 10 years or less.
