Highlights From GLARM 2025 in Puerto Rico
The 2025 Globalaw Americas Meeting (GLARM) took place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from February 19 to 22. Many thanks to Globalaw member firm EDGE Legal LLC for hosting a fantastic meeting.
The meeting began with remarks from Pablo José Hernández Rivera, Resident Commissioner for Puerto Rico, who welcomed Globalaw members and discussed ways to strengthen global and economic connections. This was followed by sessions led by Carlos R. Cobian, Founder & CEO of Cobian Media LLC & Gravital Agency, addressing social media strategies for lawyers, and Jim Cochran of Cochran Client Development, a leading global consultant, speaking on business development. The meeting offered members practical and strategic insights into social media, business development, corporate governance, and an overview of the political and economic outlook in the Americas region.
During a separate track of the meeting, 16 Managing Partners from across the Americas (and Europe) convened for a Leadership Summit. Guided by Jim Cochran, a leading global business development consultant, and Eduardo Arroyo, a top business coach and strategic planner, the Managing Partners focused on law firm success and providing effective client service, beginning with the health and focus of their leadership. In the words of EDGE Legal, “The summit reinforced how our global partnerships provide unparalleled reach for our clients, combining local expertise with an international perspective.”
Last but certainly not least, Globalaw continued its tradition of raising funds through the Globalaw Foundation to support a local charity. The highly successful auction of a piece of art created by renowned Puerto Rican artist Jorge Zeno enabled the Foundation to donate $15,000 to Fundacion Banco Popular. This organization seeks to improve the quality of life of Puerto Ricans by promoting access to educational and self-management opportunities that foster excellence, ethics, and civic responsibility.
