Elizabeth Cooney is an Associate at GMR. She started at the firm in August and has handled numerous arbitrations and depositions since, making her a valuable addition. Here is more about Liz:
"I decided to go into law because I really enjoyed history and government classes in high school, and thought it would be a good fusion of my two interests. When I started undergrad, I changed my plans a bit and began focusing on sports marketing. However, law school was always in the back of my mind. Lockdown gave me the opportunity to change paths back to where I originally wanted to go.
After spending 7 years in State College for college and law school, I wanted to move to Philadelphia to begin my career. GMR gave me an opportunity that I could not pass up.
My advice for women starting a career in the legal industry is to not be afraid of failure! Own your strengths and weaknesses and use every opportunity as a way to learn something new."

This holiday season, GMR’s Women’s Initiative supported The Jared Box Project, to help bring joy to children in need. A Jared Box is a plastic, shoe-sized storage box filled with small gifts, toys, games, coloring books, and fun activities, all tailored to a specific age group and gender. These thoughtfully packed boxes are donated to children in hospitals to offer a much-needed diversion and brighten their spirits.
GMR was able to come together as a firm and create 112 boxes which were donated to Cooper Pediatric Care at Camden Hospital, the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Philadelphia Region, and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, spreading holiday cheer to children in these facilities.
Thank you to our co-chairs, Kara Brownlie, Isabella Pantano, Elizabeth Cooney, and Jillian Seay for coordinating the firm’s efforts and making this holiday season all the more special.
