Upon reaching a milestone anniversary, it is interesting to step back and take stock. At the beginning, in the early 1970s, Epstein Becker Green was focused on what was next for health care law before few, if any, saw it as a separate discipline. We complemented that focus on health care by adding a focus on labor and employment law, also somewhat new at the time, which created beneficial synergies as health care became an ever-growing piece of our gross domestic spending and every business, including those in the health care industry, had to effectively manage its workforce from an employment law, labor law, and employee benefits standpoint.
