History

In October 1973, a Washington, D.C., lawyer, Steven B. Epstein, and a childhood friend, New York lawyer Jeffrey H. Becker, formed “Epstein & Becker”, a firm focusing on health care law. Ronald M. Green, a New York labor lawyer and a friend of Becker, realized that health care law and labor law were “inherently synergistic practices” and, in August 1978, he joined the firm to build its labor and employment practice and his surname was added to the firm’s name.
