| The Maslon firm was formally organized as a partnership in 1956, but the firm's roots began during the 1920's. In 1923, Samuel H. Maslon graduated with honors from Harvard Law School and was awarded a prestigious clerkship with United States Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis. After concluding his clerkship, Maslon returned to Minneapolis and began his career in private practice. In 1948 he began practice as a sole proprietor. During those years, Sam Maslon built a national reputation as a skilled lawyer in the areas of business and corporate law and tax planning. By 1949, his busy practice grew to three associates, including Harvard Law School graduate Marvin Borman. In 1956, Maslon and his colleagues joined forces with a local litigation firm and created the partnership of Maslon Kaplan Edelman Joseph & Borman.
