Cambridge, MA, August 25, 2003 – Lowrie, Lando and Anastasi, LLP (LL&A) today announced the addition of nine professionals meeting its 2003 year-end goals only three months after its formation.

The professionals and positions include: Of Counsel, Gary S. Engelson; Associate
Elias Domingo, Aaron W. Moore, Jeffrey B. Powers, Edward J. Russavage, Robert A. Skrivanek, Jr., Joseph Teja, Jr., Lisa Winsor; and, Technology Specialist, Sara Hudson.

Lowrie, Lando & Anastasi, LLP is the newest Intellectual Property law firm in Boston. 
It challenges the traditional billing model which most law firms require, and, instead, focuses on the quality of client and associate work while encouraging a more balanced professional and personal life.  LL&A believes it is the first Intellectual Property firm in the region to respond to these and other key findings of the Boston Bar Association in its 1999 Taskforce report on “Professional Challenge and Family Needs”.  Launched in June (2003) with three partners, the firm currently numbers 25 employees.

“We are delighted to assemble such a competent and personable group of experts to Lowrie, Lando & Anastasi, LLP,” said Peter C. Lando, one of the firm’s three founding partners.  “With their dedication along with the support of the five partners and administrative team, we look forward to further expanding the firm and building upon our already-strong portfolio of clients.”
