Rosen joined the firm in 1982 as a litigator and later became chairman of the firm’s litigation practice. He became managing shareholder in 2012. In 2020, the firm made a donation to the University of Miami School of Law to form the Alan S. Becker & Gary A. Poliakoff Preeminent Leaders in Law Speaker Series, honoring the legacy of the firm’s founding shareholders. The firm also has created the role of senior director, which provides a pathway for non-attorneys at Becker to reach equity shareholder-like status.
