Since Andrew Sandler and 14 other lawyers jumped from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom to join what was then Buckley Kolar in March 2009, the 35-lawyer shop has grown to about 75 lawyers. Sandler, co-chairman of the renamed BuckleySandler, said the firm is looking to reach 120 lawyers. The firm has been hiring for its securities enforcement, white-collar defense and bank formation practices. The question is when or if the line between rapid but well-managed growth and out-of-control speed is being crossed.

Twelve months ago, many lawyers were in hunker-down mode, happy to have jobs. When Andrew Sandler chose that moment to leave the relative safety of a firm as well-established — and well-paying — as Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom after 22 years, he raised more than a few eyebrows.
"When I left Skadden, I was looking to leave a battleship for a speedboat that was much more nimble and flexible," Sandler said.
