Carrie Cohen, Morrison & Foerster, New York

Cohen is a partner in the firm’s investigations and white-collar defense group and co-chairs the workplace misconduct investigations task force. “Each day is different,” she said. “When I work out I think about different issues, cases, and other ideas and run through what’s coming up. My workout helps energize me for whatever the day brings. I depend on it. If I don’t work out I feel sluggish and not as excited for the day.”
