"Buchalter, a business law firm that opened its San Diego office six years ago with a goal of growing to have a staff of about 20, has expanded far faster than expected.
As of late March, Buchalter had 60 lawyers in San Diego and has gone from a two-room operation in a different downtown building to take over the entire 16thfloor of the office tower at 655 W. Broadway and half of another floor.
'We’re pretty proud of what we’ve accomplished,' said Adam Bass, Buchalter’s president and CEO.
Unlike some law firms that expand through acquisitions, Bass said, 'All of that growth has been organic.'
'We didn’t acquire a firm. We grew. Every one of our lawyers was hired individually, which is great for your culture because you don’t get somebody else’s culture. You get people who want to join you as opposed to acquiring a firm, because they’re failing, or they feel they need or want what you have. These folks all joined us because they want to be here,' Bass said. 'It’s not just the numbers, it’s the quality of lawyers and the breadth of their practice.'"
