Roger Braunfeld has been named to the 2011 Pennsylvania Rising Stars list, recognition reserved for an elite group of Pennsylvania lawyers age 40 or under. “Roger’s recognition comes as no surprise to his partners, colleagues, and clients,” said David Sorin, Co-Managing partner of SORINROYERCOOPER. “Early in his career, Roger was recognized as an emerging practice and business leader. For example, in 2003, at only 29 years old, Roger was recognized by both the Philadelphia Business Journal as one of the “40 Under 40” business or professional leaders in the greater Philadelphia region and as one of the Jewish Business Networks “Lights of Tomorrow.” Two years later, Roger was voted in the MS Leadership Class and designated a Pennsylvania Rising Star Attorney.

Neil Cooper, Co-Managing Partner of SORINROYERCOOPER, added “Roger is well known for his ability to combine business and corporate law experience for his clients, focusing on financing and development strategies and transactions for emerging growth companies and the investors who support them. Among other things, Roger’s practice encompasses private equity and venture capital transactions, debt and equity offerings, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate restructurings, as well as a wide range of business and commercial transactions, agreements, and general business legal counseling. “

Partner Barry Cohen also has been honored by being named a 2011 Pennsylvania Super Lawyer. No more than five percent of Pennsylvania’s lawyers are recognized as Super Lawyers. Co-Managing Partner John Royer noted “Barry concentrates his practice in the areas of commercial, business and intellectual property litigation and licensing, including related employment law and trade secret cases. He regularly represents clients in the protection of their intellectual property rights and licensing programs. Barry also has been regularly recognized for his leadership and legal skills. In 2004, he was selected by American Lawyer Media as one of only thirty attorneys under the age of 40 to be on the "Fast Track" in Philadelphia. Soon thereafter, in 2006 and 2007, Barry was recognized as one of the Rising Stars of the legal community. More recently, in both 2009 and 2010, he was selected by Law and Politics as one of Pennsylvania's Super Lawyers. Barry's recognized expertise has been tapped by CNBC, which has called upon him several times to serve as a commentator on current legal issues, and he is a frequent author of articles on a variety of legal matters.”

SORINROYERCOOPER is proud of the many and unique accomplishments of its partners, counsel and associates and remains committed to attracting and retaining lawyers of the highest quality, skill, and commitment to client service.
