As president of The Florida Bar from 1992-1993, Dimond led efforts to foster inclusivity within the profession. Equally devoted to community service, he chaired the Jackson Memorial Hospital Foundation and served on the United Way and Baptist Health boards, as well as The George Washington University Law School board.
Cobos was honored for her work representing clients in a wide range of complex commercial matters before state and federal courts. Her recent high-profile victories include defending a product manufacturer in deceptive trade practices cases and a global software company in a $43 billion Lanham Act false advertising case. She also represents Assurant in first-party property litigation claims statewide. A champion not only for her clients but for women in the South Florida community, Cobos was appointed co-chair of Greenberg Traurig’s Miami Women’s Initiative, which supports the inclusion and advancement of the firm’s women attorneys.
