February 23, 2026
Coffey Modica is proud to announce that Patricia A. Mooney, Managing Partner of the firm’s New York office, has been named to the prestigious 2026 Notable Women in Law list by Crain’s New York Business.
The annual recognition honors senior women leaders shaping the future of the legal profession across New York. This year’s honorees were selected based on their professional accomplishments, industry impact, leadership, and community contributions.
With nearly two decades of experience in construction litigation, medical malpractice defense, and nursing home litigation, Patricia has played an instrumental role in the firm’s continued growth since joining Coffey Modica in 2021 as one of its earliest team members. As Managing Partner in New York, she oversees complex Labor Law matters and mentors the next generation of litigation attorneys.
Among her notable results, Patricia successfully negotiated a pre-trial settlement on behalf of a general contractor in a significant Labor Law matter involving a serious construction site injury—resolving the case for a fraction of the potential exposure on the eve of trial.
In addition to her litigation practice, Patricia is a frequent speaker on New York Labor Law developments and remains actively involved in advancing professional development within the firm.
The 2026 honorees were selected following editorial review by Crain’s, recognizing women serving in senior leadership roles who demonstrate meaningful impact in their field. This year’s feature highlights 131 attorneys helping navigate regulatory change, economic uncertainty, and evolving legal challenges across industries.
We congratulate Patricia on this well-deserved recognition and her continued leadership within the firm and the New York legal community.
