Epstein Becker & Green’s recently announced alliance with Deloitte Legal for employment law and workplace services has brought a new partner to the firm, with Proskauer Rose international labor and employment co-chair Erika Collins opting to take her practice there.

Collins, who is based in New York, joined Epstein Becker on Wednesday, five and a half years after moving to Proskauer from Paul Hastings. She said that she reached out to David Garland, who chairs the firm’s national employment, labor and workforce management steering committee, shortly after seeing the news of the tie-up with Deloitte on LinkedIn.
