Mr. Lando has extensive experience in the chemical process industries, water and wastewater treatment technologies, polymers, small particles, specialty metals and ceramics, medical devices, and mechanical and industrial designs.

He has, for example, been involved in patent prosecution, clearance, diligence, transactions, and enforcement for more water and wastewater technologies than any other lawyer (or firm) over the past 15 years.

He has an AV rating in Martindale-Hubbell.

Mr. Lando is admitted to practice law in Massachusetts and in various federal courts, and he is registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He received his J.D. from the University of New Hampshire School of Law, and he is a member of the school’s board of trustees (chair, development committee); a member of the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property Advisory Council; and a former adjunct professor of patent law at the school. Mr. Lando received a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Drexel University, and he was honored as a recipient of the 2006 College of Engineering Alumni Circle of Distinction Award. He has served as an advisory council member of the Drexel University College of Engineering. Mr. Lando received an MBA degree in management from Rutgers University, and he currently serves as an industry advisory board member of the Rutgers University School of Engineering.
