The law firm of Edwards Wildman Palmer LLP is pleased to announce that Lawrence R. Robins is joining the firm’s Intellectual Property Department as a partner in Boston.

A seasoned IP practitioner, Robins advises clients involved in the litigation of trademark, copyright, unfair competition, and other commercial disputes. He provides proactive counsel in the development, management and exploitation of trademarks, copyrights, domain names and designs. With clients from a variety of industries, including information technology, financial services, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, online education, furniture and home-design products, Robins is exceptionally equipped by training and experience to offer guidance and counsel. 

“Larry is a tremendous addition to our firm, and he will bolster our already strong trademark and copyright practice in the Boston market,” said Maria Scungio, the co-head of Edwards Wildman’s International Trademarks and Copyrights practice group. “Our clients are often faced with considerable challenges to their intellectual property assets, and we are very pleased that Larry will be able to bring his extensive experience to bear in Boston and beyond.” 

Robins joins Edwards Wildman from Finnegan, where he was a partner in Cambridge, Mass. In addition to his practice, he has served as an adjunct professor of law at Suffolk University Law School in Boston. He earned his law degree from the Loyola University of Chicago School of Law, an MBA from the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, and his undergraduate degree from Emory University. He is admitted to practice in Illinois and Massachusetts. 

Robins is the seventh partner to join Edwards Wildman’s growing Intellectual Property Department in the past year. The firm has also welcomed Mitchell Stabbe in Washington, D.C.; Akash Sachdeva, Geoff Mendelsohn and Richard Graham in London; and Rory Radding and Perla Kuhn in New York.
