Taft Phoenix partners Amy Abdo and Shannon Cohan were recently featured in a Law360 article announcing their move to Taft. The article focuses on both attorneys’ experience and their decision-making behind joining the firm. It also outlines Taft’s recent growth in the Phoenix market, noting 200% office growth since the firm’s 2025 merger with Sherman & Howard.

“I was drawn to a firm that leads from the heart, invests in its people and is committed to delivering exceptional outcomes for its clients,” Abdo told Law360. “Clients often need lawyers who can seamlessly bring together sophisticated resources across jurisdictions and practice areas while still providing the trusted relationships and personalized counsel they have come to expect. Taft’s national platform and collaborative model allow me to do exactly that.”

“The opportunity to support my clients in different markets and service areas was important in my decision to join the firm,” Cohan said in a statement. “Taft’s growth is intentional and targeted, which furthers the ability to serve clients where they are. In addition, the amount of support for attorneys and the firm’s culture of ‘yes’ translates into better support for clients. The leadership and management style is a definite draw as well.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome Amy and Shannon to our Phoenix office,” Craig Morgan, partner-in-charge of Taft’s Phoenix office, added. “They are highly respected attorneys whose experience, judgment and dedication to client service will be tremendous assets to our team. We’re excited to work alongside Amy and Shannon and know they will make an immediate impact on both our clients and our culture.”
