MANAGING SHAREHOLDER, BECKER & POLIAKOFF, FORT LAUDERDALE
Becker has grown to more than 130 attorneys and lobbyists in 15 offices in Florida, Washington, D.C., New Jersey and New York. 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.
