Boston, MA – Lando & Anastasi (L&A) congratulates the ten firm practitioners who have been selected for inclusion in the 2026 edition of The Best Lawyers in America® and Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch® in America. We are also thrilled to announce that Senior Counsel Ann Lamport Hammitte has been named “Lawyer of the Year” for Copyright Law in Boston. “Lawyer of the Year” honors are awarded annually to only one lawyer per practice area in each region with extremely high overall feedback from their peers, making it an exceptional distinction.
“I have had the privilege of working beside Ann for more than twenty years,” noted L&A co-founding partner Peter C. Lando, adding that “Ann’s exceptional legal acumen, especially in copyright and trademark law, and her unwavering dedication to her clients, have been an invaluable part of the success of our firm. This recognition is a testament to her remarkable legal career spanning four decades.”

These annual guides from Best Lawyers provide in-depth intelligence on leading legal professionals across more than 140 practice areas, drawing only upon direct peer feedback and publicly available information to determine their rankings. The Ones to Watch recognitions are granted to attorneys who are in the early stages of their careers—typically in practice 5 to 9 years—for outstanding professional excellence in their areas of expertise, and use the same peer review methodology as The Best Lawyers in America guide.
“We are delighted to celebrate our ten attorneys named to the 2026 Best Lawyers and Ones to Watch guides,” said L&A co-managing partner Robert A. Skrivanek, Jr. “Their dedication, creativity, and care for our clients inspire all of us at the firm. We are especially grateful to the clients and peers who participated in the evaluation process by sharing their support of our firm, reminding us that these honors are rooted in strong relationships and trust.”
