Morgan Lewis & Bockius grew its Pittsburgh office late last week with the addition of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney corporate partner Amy Pandit.

Pandit’s addition brings the office, which is largely considered to have had a strong, steady presence for a non-Pittsburgh based firm, to 27 lawyers. Office managing partner Marlee S. Myers said this is the first lateral partner to join the office in several years as it is “very picky” about adding the right people who mix with the practice both locally and nationally or internationally as well as fit with the Pittsburgh office culture.
