Join us for an extraordinary evening with one of the nation’s most renowned divorce attorneys, Robert Stephan Cohen. Known and reported in the press for representing high-profile clients including Michael Bloomberg, Joni Evans, Melinda Gates, Rupert Murdoch and Chris Rock. Cohen has built a reputation as a sharp legal strategist and a trusted advisor in some of the most complex and public marital disputes of our time. He has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Business Insider. Forbes Magazine has named him one of the 200 Most Important Lawyers in America.
Cohen offers attendees a rare opportunity to hear directly about his decades of experience navigating the intersection of law, family, and public life, followed by a screening of Heartburn, starring Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep, directed by Mike Nichols and written by Nora Ephron.
Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson are wonderful together in this lighthearted look at modern romance headed for failure, based on Nora Ephron’s best-selling novel. She’s a magazine writer who gives up her career for love and family. He’s a playboy newspaper columnist who can’t quite give up his old tricks. And if that combination doesn’t give a relationship Heartburn, nothing will!
Robert Cohen is the author of Reconcilable Differences, published by Simon & Schuster that blends practical advice with reflections on relationships, conflict, and resolution. Drawing from his writing and his career, he will share perspectives not only on the challenges of divorce but also on the possibilities of reconciliation and growth. With Cohen’s wit, wisdom, and wealth of experience, the evening promises to be both engaging and enlightening.
