AUGUSTA — The Lipman & Katz law firm said Tuesday it will move from its downtown location at 227 Water St. to a new spot at 5 Community Drive.

The relocation would take effect Jan. 15, the firm said in a news release.

“About a year ago, we recognized that as we continue to grow, we needed to find a new location,” Karen Boston, attorney at Lipman & Katz, said in the release. “The office space at 5 Community Drive provides many amenities for our clients and staff, including a meeting space that better fits our needs. The new location also allows our growing list of statewide clients easier access from Interstate 95.”

After the move, the firm’s phone number, 622-3711, will remain the same.

The firm has eight attorneys, including Sen. Roger Katz, R-Augusta.
