The firm was founded in 1933 by Haskell Cohn and Benjamin Levin, former Harvard Law School classmates. Today, the firm boasts 500 attorneys who represent clients in a broad range of industries including life sciences and biotechnology, energy and clean technology, telecommunications and media, financial services and insurance, health care, real estate and construction, and retail and consumer products. Businesses and others rely on the firm for its client specific industry knowledge in both traditional and cutting-edge practice areas. The firm is guided by the question: “How can we ensure that we address all of the immediate needs of the client while delivering long-term benefits to the organization and its business as a whole?” In an effort to provide each client with the best service possible, Mintz Levin considers each client’s unique needs and when necessary, assembles crossdisciplinary teams, either nationally or internationally, to address the issue at hand. Furthermore, the firm works to coordinate client’s non-legal needs with their legal needs, through the establishment of its affiliated consulting practices, ML Strategies LLC and Mintz Levin Financial Advisors. These affiliates provide consulting services in government relations, PR, project management, and wealth management.
