Remove Friction. Reduce Risk. Scale Faster.
Ex–BigLaw and GC advising founders and PE-backed companies on high-stakes legal strategy and growth
Ian R. Cohen is an ex-BigLaw M&A attorney and longtime General Counsel who advises founders and PE-backed companies on high-stakes legal strategy, transactions, and growth. I work at the intersection of law, business, and dealmaking — helping operators eliminate friction, navigate complexity, and move faster with confidence.
With over 16 years of experience, I specialize in
turning chaos into clarity, identifying opportunities others miss, and creating the conditions for scalable, durable growth.
I partner with companies that are scaling, acquiring, raising capital, or navigating complex transitions — offering senior-level judgment without the full-time overhead.
