For the past four months our office has started hosting Lunch & Learns for our team on Fridays. They were created so our team could learn about the ins and outs of every department at Cowen | Rodriguez | Peacock. Whether it is one of our attorneys presenting, or our intake team talking about what they do, we all get together to have lunch and learn more about how every role in our office helps our team be successful. We recently conducted a firm-wide survey to see how everyone felt about the lunches (along with other questions about how our employees feel about our office environment), and the result was outstanding. Every single survey from our team had praise about these events. Staff found them beneficial not only in learning more about the process of cases in our firm and how everyone in our office works together, but also getting to know each of their co-workers a bit more. The team at Cowen | Rodriguez | Peacock truly believes every job in our firm is important and ...

A start-up named The Seabubbles has created a solution for contributing less pollution in the city of Paris. The creation is called “The Bubble,” which is a flying taxi powered by electricity. Media around the country have been discussing this new transportation solution, which takes 35 minutes to charge and has a 2-hour battery life. So how does this “flying taxi” work? The Bubble lifts out of the water on wings and makes no noise and no waves. It does not emit CO2, which wins the approval of French transport officials looking to endow the capital with new clean transport options in the run-up to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. The white aerodynamic craft skims over the River Seine at speeds of up to 17 mph, hovering 1½feet above the water. The first prototype, for four passengers, was first tested on the Seine in June 2017, with Mayor Anne Hidalgo taking a spin. The taxi looks like a nautical version of the DeLorean car in the 80s sci-fi film “Back to The Future.” All the sig...

We usually think of branding to encompass our website, social media, print materials, office décor,etc.But, have you thought about your email signature? Think about how many different emails your clients will receive from your team throughout the duration of their case. What sort of message are you sending if your team all has a different email signature? Consistency with branding is always key.It helps to build rapport and establish a reliable and unified front for your firm. We had this issue in our office. Regardless of how many requests we sent our staff, everyone seemed to always have something different on their email signatures. From changes in the font of their names, to different font colors, missing disclaimer text -you name it we saw it. We were looking for a way to solve this and had several of our colleagues recommend Exclaimer. After a trial pe...

Michael Cowen Takes the Wheel with a Hands-On Approach to Better Understanding Trucking and Truck Drivers ATAAhas teamed up with a trucking school to offer ATAA (Academy of Truck Accident Attorneys) members a unique trucking program. This program in Montana includes classroom work with instructors experienced in trucking litigation, accident causation, vehicle maintenance and proper vehicle operation combined with real hands-on experience behind the wheel of a big-rig. You may have seen a video on our law firm social media recently, of Michael Cowen taking this course and his experience with the program. As an ATAA member, Cowen took advantage of this course and returned to the office with a deeper understanding of 18-wheelers. “It’s been a great experience. The people have been great, it’s amazing how much I’ve learned, and frankly it’s going to be a lot harder for a truck driver to pull something over me on one of our cases now,” Cowen added. After having a great experien...
