Constance Cooper has, in addition to employment litigation, experience handling complex legal matters such as class actions against pharmaceutical companies and whistleblower action suits against medical providers. Additionally, Constance has represented individuals accused of crimes in federal court and has helped obtain justice for victims of childhood sexual abuse. Throughout her legal career, Constance has focused exclusively on representing the “underdog,” plaintiffs taking on large corporations and individuals facing criminal charges in federal court.
Constance is committed to finding and correcting inequities of power and brings that commitment to her practice at Barrett & Farahany, where she focuses on equal treatment of women and all individuals oppressed in the workplace because of race, age, disability, sex, illness, disability, or pregnancy. Her practice is also focused on representing whistleblowers facing retaliation for reporting violations of federal law and representing individuals who have not been fairly compensated for their work.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, Constance worked as an investigative journalist uncovering public corruption and received numerous awards for her work in print and broadcast media.
Constance received a Bachelor of Arts in Public Communications from DePaul University and graduated second in her class from Savannah Law School, where she served as Associate Editor of Savannah Law Review and obtained CALI Excellence for the Future Awards in Evidence, Criminal Procedure, Secured Transactions, Legal Writing, Health Care Law, and Immigration Law. Constance also studied International Criminal Law in The Hague, Netherlands and assisted Professor Eugene Mazo, an elections law scholar, in editing Democracy by the People: Reforming Campaign Finance in America (Cambridge University Press, 2018).
In her free time, Constance enjoys traveling abroad, cooking, running, and spending time with family.
