Becker & Poliakoff has acquired the Fort Lauderdale litigation firm Polenberg Cooper­, a move it says it made to help accommodate its litigation workload.

“Had we not brought Polenberg Cooper on board, we would have had to hire additional people to accommodate the work we have within the firm,” said Gary Rosen, managing shareholder of Becker & Poliakoff. “The work is coming from many different directions and I’m happy to say unlike many firms whose litigation firms are shrinking, we are not facing that same problem.”
