BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Coughlin & Gerhart, LLP, a Binghamton–based firm, announced that it recently added Carrie A. Wenban as special counsel to its legal team.
She was previously a partner at Levene, Gouldin & Thompson, LLP, another law firm based in Binghamton. Wenban brings a wealth of experience and knowledge in the legal areas of business, banking, real estate, and commercial transactions.
As special counsel, Wenban will focus on providing legal services to clients in various practice areas, including business and banking law, cannabis, real estate, and energy law — both in New York state and Pennsylvania, according to a Coughlin & Gerhart news release. Her diverse background and extensive experience will enable her to offer comprehensive and strategic legal advice to individuals and businesses, alike, the firm contends.
Wenban earned a bachelor’s degree from Binghamton University in 2000 and her law degree from the Syracuse University College of Law in 2004. Admitted to the New York State Bar in 2005 and the Pennsylvania State Bar in 2013, Wenban is well-versed in the legal landscape of both states, per the release.
Throughout her career, Wenban has been an active member of several professional organizations, including the Broome County Bar Association and the New York State Bar Association.
Beyond her legal accomplishments, Wenban is deeply involved in her community. She has been an integral part of the Jewish Community Center of Binghamton, serving as the board president from 2016-2019 and continuing to serve as a member of the board, Coughlin & Gerhart said. Wenban also chaired the JCC Early Childhood Center Parent Committee for many years. Additionally, she is a member of the executive leadership team for the American Heart Association Southern Tier Heart Walk.
“Carrie’s extensive legal knowledge and her dedication to her clients make her a valuable addition to our team. We are confident that the depth of her experience will greatly benefit our business and banking clients and further strengthen our firm’s capabilities in the area of commercial transactions,” Rachel Abbott, managing partner of Coughlin & Gerhart, said about Wenban joining the firm.
Founded in the 1890s, Coughlin & Gerhart has more than 55 lawyers and professional support staff. In addition to its main office in Binghamton, the law firm has locations in Bainbridge, Ithaca, Owego, Hancock, and Walton, N.Y., and an office in Montrose, Pennsylvania.
