Buckley LLP, formerly known as BuckleySandler, was a financial services, criminal, and civil enforcement defense law firm which had over one hundred lawyers in different parts of the United States of America; in Washington, D.C., New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, and in London.

History
The firm was founded in 2009 by Jeremiah Buckley and Andrew Sandler as a consumer financial servicesboutique law firm with 40 lawyers. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis and the passage of the 2010 Dodd–Frank Act, the firm tripled in size to 130 attorneys by 2011. In 2019, the firm rebranded to Buckley LLP following Sandler's departure from the firm. The firm focused primarily on financial services regulation, banking law, and white-collar criminal defense. The firm represented large financial institutions, government entities, and corporate clients.
