Elaine M. Pohl, a partner and insurance coverage attorney at Plunkett Cooney in Detroit, was 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 take place 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 also is a member of the firm’s Shareholder Evaluation Committee, and she is co-chair of Plunkett Cooney’s formal mentoring program.
Pohl is a member of the Oakland County Bar Association, State Bar of Michigan’s Insurance and Indemnity Law Section (past chair and former board officer), Michigan Licensed Beverage Association, and DRI, the largest bar association of civil defense attorneys and in-house counsel, where she currently serves as the vice chair for its Insurance Law Publications Subcommittee and served as the 2023 chair of the organization’s national Insurance Coverage Practice Symposium in New York City.
A cum laude graduate from the Indiana University School of Law in 1999, Pohl received her undergraduate degree, magna cum laude, from Villanova University in 1996. She is admitted to practice law in state and federal courts in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio.
