And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

Ina Cohen
Ina Cohen focuses her practice on business and finance transactions, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate law, with additional experience in real estate and international matters. She works with companies at all stages of growth, supporting strategic transactions, governance, and day-to-day operations with practical, business-minded solutions.
Ina began her legal career in Sofia, Bulgaria, where she advised both domestic and multinational clients at a leading European law firm. Her work ranged from corporate structuring and reorganization to commercial contracts and regulatory compliance, giving her a strong foundation in navigating complex legal environments across jurisdictions.
In addition to her legal practice, Ina founded PASSPORTS.BG, a consultancy designed to assist foreign investors and their families relocating to Bulgaria—a role that sharpened her understanding of cross-border legal strategy and international business development.
After relocating to Arizona, Ina earned a second J.D. from the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University and served as a Legislative Extern at the Arizona Supreme Court. Today, she draws on her dual qualifications in Europe and the U.S. to offer clients a truly global perspective and a versatile approach to legal problem-solving.
Outside of work, Ina enjoys traveling, playing tennis, cooking traditional Bulgarian dishes, and attending live music events—especially 80s and alternative rock concerts. She’s also an avid reader of biographical and historical nonfiction.
