Mintz Levin was founded in 1933, in the midst of the great depression, by Benjamin Levin and Haskell Cohn, who first met as classmates at Harvard Law School. The firm began practicing under the name Mintz, Levin and Cohn after Herman Mintz became a legal collaborator in 1937, and then a partner in 1939. The firm grew steadily, adding additional partners starting with William M. Glovsky in 1965. In 1968, Robert Popeo became the first attorney to join as a partner. In 1979, the firm began expanding, opening a secondary office in Washington, D.C., headed by Charles D. Ferris, former Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The new office focused primarily on federal regulation, legislation and litigation, with an emphasis on communications, the environment, health care, antitrust. After 2000, expansion became much more rapid, with Mintz Levin opening offices on the West Coast and the U.K., and a liaison office in Israel, in addition to its locations in the northeastern United States.
