Riverwalk Law Center to bring 250 jobs to
Lawrence
Valley Patriot Staff
The city of Lawrence is about to be the
home of a new concept in legal services
according to Al Zappala president of All
things Sicilian, and Sal Lupoli of
Sals Pizza and Sals
Riverwalk.
Zappala and Lupoli say they intend to
create a series of boutique
law centers that will attract the
best legal minds in the Commonwealth to a
centralized location.
The target date for occupancy is set for
sometime in 2009. According to Lupoli,
the Riverwalk Law Center could launch the
next phase of Riverwalk development
plans. Lupoli, who turned Riverwalk
Properties on Merrimack Street in
Lawrence from an abandoned eyesore to one
of the citys most prominent and
thriving complexes in four short years.
Attorney Al Zappala said last month that
his plan is to create the largest Law
Center north of Boston.
Besides being president of All Things
Sicilian, Zappala is a recognized expert
on the bar examination in Massachusetts
and a member of the faculty at 3 Boston
law Schools where he has taught for
years.
The Riverwalk is a natural
location, Zappala said.
With the Federal Immigration
Offices coming to Lawrence in 2009, and
the Essex County Superior Court,
the Fenton Judicial Center right around
the corner and the Registry of Deeds
located right now within the Riverwalk
Complex will be an ideal and unique
situation for practitioners ranging from
solo practitioners to mid-sized firms. We
will create first class space which will
concentrate on specific areas of the law,
ranging from real estate, immigration,
civil, criminal, mediation groups,
intellectual; property groups and other
areas of the law. Lawrence is a natural
place for this concept he
concluded.
A Law Center concept is
exactly what I had in mind when we
decided to first develop the site. Al
Zappala is very highly regarded in the
legal community throughout the state and
is the perfect guy for the project. We
estimate that once completed, over 100
lawyers and another 150 support staff
will make this concept a model for others
to follow said Lupoli.
