When asked about factors contributing to the firm's rapid growth, Crawford said:

"There are multiple factors leading to the firm's growth, but three of the most notable are one, winning a landmark case on reasonable compensation, that allowed the firm to diversify into a separate service line three years ago. Two, very happy clients aggressively selling us to their peers; three, using the downturn in the energy market as an opportunity to launch an restructuring advisory service line three years ago."
