Elaine M. Pohl, a partner and insurance coverage attorney at Plunkett Cooney, was recently selected by Michigan Lawyers Weekly (MiLW) as a member of its 2024 Class of “Leaders in the Law.”
The annual Leaders in the Law awards luncheon will be held on Dec. 3 at Petruzzello’s Banquet and Conference Center in Troy. The “Lawyer of the Year,” as selected by a vote of the class members, will be announced live during the event. Each of the 2024 honorees will be profiled in a special section of the Dec. 2 issue of MiLW, an industry publication serving the state’s legal community.
Pohl and the other class of 2024 honorees were selected by MiLW for, among other things, their significant contributions to the practice of law in Michigan, their expertise and leadership.
Pohl maintains a national practice counseling insurers in complex litigated and non-litigated property and casualty disputes. Her coverage experience extends to claims involving professional liability, construction defects, bodily injuries, product liability, environmental contamination, personal and advertising injury, first-party property and allegations of bad faith.
Elected this year to Plunkett Cooney’s Board of Directors, Pohl is also a member of the firm’s Shareholder Evaluation Committee, and she is Co-chair of Plunkett Cooney’s formal mentoring program.
Her expertise within the legal industry has resulted in Pohl having the distinction of being named a Best Lawyers in America® for Insurance Law / Insurance Litigation for 2024 – 2025, a Michigan Super Lawyer Rising Star in Insurance Coverage, and a Michigan Super Lawyers for several years. Michigan Lawyers Weekly also previously honored her in 2018 with its prestigious “Influential Women of Law” honor.
