EXCITING NEWS: SAUL EWING LLP ENTERS
THE BOSTON MARKET

On July 1, 2011, Saul Ewing LLP enters the Boston, Mass. market  by combining with the Boston, MA-based law firm of Dionne & Gass LLP. The combination will expand Saul Ewing's East Coast footprint to 10 offices.

Seven attorneys from Dionne & Gass LLP will join Saul Ewing. Dionne & Gass is a leading real estate, business and finance law firm that has been in the Boston market for nearly 20 years.

"This represents a fantastic opportunity for Saul Ewing and our clients,"said Managing Partner David S. Antzis. "One of the key components of our strategic vision is to grow and to do so prudently. Combining with Dionne & Gass accomplishes those goals on both fronts. Boston is a natural fit for us."

Richard Gass, Dana Lanzillo, Don Lussier, Sally E. Michael and Joanne Robbins will join as partners; James Shulman will join as special counsel and Gabriel Safar will join as an associate. The attorneys will be members of our Project and Resource Development Department and Real Estate Practice Group.

The Boston office will serve local, regional and national clients, resulting in improved services for both Saul Ewing and Dionne & Gass's existing client bases. After the combination is complete, Saul Ewing intends to strategically build the Boston office around its already strong real estate and corporate foundation.
