Cozen O’Connor has announced its sponsorship of rising star Rachel Kuehn for the 2024-2025 LPGA season. One of the top amateurs in the world for the last several years, Kuehn made her professional debut last month at The Annika driven by Gainbridge LPGA tournament, sporting the Cozen O’Connor logo.
Ally Ewing, the LPGA Tour golfer the firm sponsored for the last two years, announced her retirement from professional golf effective at the end of this year. In order to continue its support towards women’s golf, Cozen O’Connor has made the strategic decision to throw its support behind Kuehn as she begins her career as a professional golfer.
“After significant due diligence and thought, we decided to help a young woman begin her career and work to get her full-time status on the LPGA Tour rather than sponsor a more seasoned veteran golfer,” said Michael J. Heller, Cozen O’Connor’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Accordingly, we are thrilled to announce our sponsorship of Rachel Kuehn.”
Kuehn is a former Wake Forest standout, All-American, and was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year back-to-back in 2022 and 2023. Many golf fans will recognize her name as she was featured in the second season of the popular Netflix series Full Swing. While she does not currently have full-time status on the main tour, she will move between LPGA Tour events where she can get exemptions and the Epson Tour, which is the feeder tour to the LPGA Tour.
Kuehn was born in 2001 in Asheville, North Carolina to an athletic family. Her mother, Brenda Corrie-Kuehn, was a Hall of Fame golfer at Wake Forest and represented the United States in two Curtis Cups, a biennial golf tournament that pits the United States against Britain and Ireland. Her father, Eric, and two uncles were Division I baseball players, and her brother Corrie played collegiate golf at Rhodes College.
Kuehn’s sponsorship, Heller said, reflects the firm’s long-standing commitment to providing a supportive, collaborative culture for female attorneys — an initiative that’s of vital importance to clients, potential laterals, and colleagues.
“Ally was a wonderful ambassador for the firm, and we are all excited for her next chapter in life,” Heller said. “At the same time, we’re very much looking forward to cheering Rachel on as she embarks on an exciting new chapter in her career.”
