Boggs said the following in the release about his new position with the firm:

“The role of a traditional lobbyist has changed. Clients around world are concerned with global regulatory challenges in markets that are following the US model. We are now able to address the needs of clients anywhere government power influences the outcomes of disputes, transactions, regulatory or lobbying matters. I am energized by the strengths we have brought together in this combination, and have no thought of slowing down.”

Breaux said the following in the release from the firm:

“We are enthusiastic about the expanded global capabilities of the combined firm and the opportunities to work with legacy Squire Sanders professionals around the world.”

Lott said the following in the release: “We have, of course, been very proud of what we have been able to achieve with legacy Patton Boggs since joining the firm, and we are impressed with the opportunity to become even more a part of the fabric of the combined firm.  In an era when global legislative and regulatory trends affect businesses more and more, it makes great sense to apply our skills and experience, and those of the combined firm, to solving problems for businesses, not only in the US, but around the world.”
