Who We Are

Trusted counsel, with a bridge to the English-speaking world.

Estudio Kohan was founded in 1973 by Dr. Leonardo Kohan, with a commitment to reliable, high-quality legal counsel. For more than 50 years, we've supported clients through their most important legal moments with professionalism and discretion. For many years, Dr. Kohan also served as legal counsel to international insurance companies.

What sets us apart today: our partner, Dr. Hernán Kohan, is an Argentine attorney who knows the U.S. legal system from the inside. He spent years working on litigation files at a law firm in Los Angeles, California, and studied U.S. law for the California Bar Exam. What that means for you: a lawyer in Buenos Aires who already understands how an American firm builds a case, what you assume a contract should say, and how quickly you expect an answer — so none of that has to be explained.

On the client relations side, Valeria Kohan, who also lived and worked in the U.S. and Canada for several years, makes sure every client is understood and attended to from the first message.
