As large law firms grow larger and go international, some attorneys are departing for boutiques. Art Stroyd left Reed Smith after 32 years for a six-attorney firm. "I found more and more that I was doing fewer and fewer cases out of Pittsburgh," says Stroyd, who adds he didn't want to live out of a suitcase. Yet one recruiter says she doesn't anticipate big fallout for firms post-merger, saying larger firms are better at institutionalizing clients and companies have become used to paying higher rates.

Art Stroyd is a Pittsburgh lawyer through and through. He knows the courts. He knows the judges. He knows the companies. It’s what he likes.
So it would make sense that his position at Pittsburgh-based Reed Smith was the perfect fit, particularly given the fact that Stroyd had already been there for 32 years.
