James Puddester and David Orsborn. Throughout the 1980s, the firm enjoyed rapid growth and expansion of its practice. Mergers in 1989 with Mercer Buffett McLaughlin and Fowler Pike & Madden in 1991 provided further growth. Managing director Christopher Pike says: "When I first started here, we were a relatively young firm, and we're not anymore in the sense that we have a lot of senior practitioners. Many lawyers are up to the 20-year mark and we need to start working very hard on getting ready to pass that onto the next generation of lawyers." Benson Buffett's "responsiveness and effort" was praised by one survey respondent. Supreme Court of Canada Counsel and Agency Services D. Lynne Watt Henry S.
