Senators Breaux and Lott Named Special Public Policy Advisors to Patton Boggs

Washington, March 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Patton Boggs LLP and The Breaux Lott Leadership Group today announced that former Senators John Breaux (D-LA) and Trent Lott (R-MS) have agreed to become Special Public Policy Advisors to Patton Boggs LLP and that the two firms had entered into an agreement providing a framework for an ongoing strategic relationship.

As Special Public Policy Advisors, Senators Breaux and Lott will provide advice and assistance to Patton Boggs on certain public policy clients as well as participate in periodic firm events and programs.

The strategic alliance framework between the two firms will allow the firms to pursue, wherever appropriate, joint projects where the talents of both firms can be employed to meet potential client needs. Each firm will remain independent and the Senators will not be employees or members of Patton Boggs.

"Finding a way to work with John Breaux and Trent Lott, is a tremendous plus," said Thomas Hale Boggs, Jr., Chairman of Patton Boggs LLP.

"We are excited about the opportunity to work with Patton Boggs. This agreement will allow The Breaux Lott Leadership Group to grow our new firm independently and offer our clients additional resources," said former Senator John Breaux (D-LA), co-founder of The Breaux Lott Leadership Group.

"The very real opportunity to pursue joint projects under the strategic alliance with Patton Boggs, will enable John (Breaux) and our new firm to serve a wider array of potential clients," said former Senator Trent Lott (R- MS), co-founder of The Breaux Lott Leadership Group.
