David J. Cohen, a Partner and head of the Firm's Class Action Practice Group, is a passionate advocate for the rights of consumers and workers. A highly skilled and successful class-action attorney, Mr. Cohen has spent more than a decade fighting to protect the rights of millions of consumers, union members, patients and shareholders against improper conduct by the world's largest companies.

Mr. Cohen filed Heindel v. Merck (D. N.J.) the first class action accusing Merck of consumer fraud for failing to disclose the cardiovascular risks of Vioxx. Having earned a place at the forefront of the highly publicized Vioxx Litigation, Mr. Cohen is presently part of a team litigating Heindel v. Merck (N.J. Super), a nationwide class action seeking to recover more than $1.5 billion that consumers overpaid for Vioxx as a result of Merck's deceptive marketing.

Before joining SMBB, Mr. Cohen spent ten years working on dozens of significant antitrust, consumer, employment and securities matters for two highly regarded Philadelphia firms. Before joining the private sector, Mr. Cohen completed a unique clerkship with the Honorable Stephen E. Levin in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, during which he not only helped to develop a respected and efficient system for the resolution of the Court's class action cases, but also contributed to several well-regarded works on class actions.

Mr. Cohen earned a J.D. from the Temple University School of Law in 1994. While attending law school, Mr. Cohen was awarded the Barristers Award for excellence in trial advocacy and worked as a teaching assistant for Temple's Integrated Trial Advocacy program. Mr. Cohen graduated with honors from the University of Chicago in 1991.

Mr. Cohen is admitted to practice in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and the state courts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He is an active member of the American and Philadelphia Bar Associations.

Mr. Cohen is actively involved in the Old City Civic Association, serving on the Association's Executive Committee, as its Recording Secretary and as a Board member. He is a member of the Young Friends of Inglis House, an interviewer for the University of Chicago alumni interview program, a judge for the Temple University Beasley School of Law Moot Court Honor Society competitions and a volunteer for the Philadelphia Bar Association Legal-Line advice service.
