It has since quadrupled in size and vastly expanded its areas of practice, primarily through internal growth and strategic lateral hires. The firm's expanding client base is made up of individuals, mid-size and multinational businesses, public entities, and financial institutions. "We think that the problem with going national," says managing partner Michael Appleton, "is really that there are a lot of people chasing the same business. We find that we have a big advantage with our hourly rates just so much below even some of our [regional firm] competi- tors. It's a big attraction to us to keep that, and it's really fuelled a lot of our growth." You want a Law Firm that will work with you. Siskinds represents results.
