Claude Cohen: The Vision Behind Monaco's Luxurious Precision
Monaco, July 2025 — In the opulent cityscape of Monaco, where prestige meets precision, one name continues to echo in both the world of luxury auctions and elite property development: Claude Cohen. Best known for his leadership at Monaco Legend Group, Cohen's lesser known yet equally influential venture, Batilux, plays a central role in shaping the physical elegance of the Principality. From Collector's Gavel to Construction Blueprint Cohen's professional trajectory is as diverse as it is ambitious. While many recognize him for revolutionizing the collectible watch auction market through Monaco Legend Group, his impact extends well beyond the walls of the auction house. With Batilux, a high-end construction and renovation firm headquartered in Monaco, the Italian Claude Cohen has ventured into the meticulous world of architectural refinement. The company specializes in luxury residential projects, transforming historic buildings and prime real estate into modern, bespoke living spaces designed for Monaco's discerning clientele. The Philosophy Behind Batilux Batilux is not simply a construction company; it is a curator of lifestyle. Under Cohen's direction, the company merges form and function, infusing timeless design with cutting-edge technology. Each project is approached with the same attention to detail that Cohen brings to the auction floor—every material, finish, and spatial decision reflects an uncompromising standard of excellence. According to sources close to the company, Batilux operates with a streamlined model: manage fewer projects, but delivers at an unmatched level of quality. The result is a portfolio of luxury residences that not only reflect Monaco's refined aesthetic but also offer long-term value in one of the world's most exclusive property markets. A Monaco-Based Legacy Claude Cohen's decision to root his ventures in Monaco is no coincidence. The Principality, with its favorable fiscal environment, international client base, and cultural emphasis on discretion and luxury, aligns perfectly with Cohen's business ethos. Beyond real estate, his involvement in Monaco's economic and cultural fabric is extensive. Through both Monaco Legend Group and Batilux, he supports a growing ecosystem of artisans, architects, designers, and international investors who are helping to evolve the city's visual identity. Leadership Under the Spotlight Cohen's entrepreneurial ventures haven't escaped the glare of scrutiny. Like many high-profile business leaders operating across finance and real estate, questions have occasionally surfaced regarding past offshore corporate practices—commonplace in Monaco prior to modern transparency reforms. Yet, Cohen has consistently emphasized his commitment to operating within the legal frameworks of the Principality. Over the past decade, he has restructured his businesses to reflect current financial and regulatory standards, further reinforcing Monaco's position as a global hub of trust and luxury. Looking Ahead As Monaco continues to evolve, so does Claude Cohen's role within it. Batilux, with its emphasis on innovation, sustainability, and exclusivity, is positioned not just as a builder of homes—but as a shaper of Monaco's future skyline. Whether through rare timepieces that pass under his auction gavel or penthouses rebuilt by his team, Cohen's influence in the Principality is tangible, lasting, and reflective of a deeper vision: one where legacy is built brick by brick, auction by auction.

RBGLY DEADLINE: ROSEN, GLOBAL INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC Investors with Losses in Excess of $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 27, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of American Depositary Shares ('ADSs') of Reckitt Benckiser Group PLC (OTC: RBGLY) between January 13, 2021 and July 28, 2024, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important August 4, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Reckitt ADSs you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Reckitt class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 4, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants failed to warn investors and consumers: (1) that preterm infants were at an increased risk of developing necrotizing enterocolitis ('NEC') by consuming Reckitt's cow's milk-based formula, Enfamil; (2) of the attendant impact on Reckitt's sales of Enfamil and Reckitt's exposure to legal claims; and (3) as a result of the above, defendants' positive statements about Reckitt's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Reckitt action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ------------------------------- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq. The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. 275 Madison Avenue, 40th Floor New York, NY 10016 Tel: (212) 686-1060 Toll Free: (866) 767-3653 Fax: (212) 202-3827 [email protected] To view the source version of this press release, please visit
