Current 3rd year NYC biglaw attorney considering a move in 2-3 years to Cleveland (originally from there). Anyone here work in the PE/debt finance space and have recommendations, firm or in-house?

Are you looking for anything? Big, small, in house, etc?

I’m open to all possibilities since I have a relatively long timeline. If I’m not burned out on biglaw by then, I’d be interested in staying at a large firm, but I’m finding it hard to stomach such a drastic pay cut from NY to CLE if I’m working about the same hours I am now. With mid/small firms or in house, is there a large enough market for this type of work in Cleveland? I kind of assumed that unless I retooled my only option to relocate would be to another large firm, but I’m interested in expanding my search if that’s not the case. FWIW, my work now is primarily borrower-side biotech/pharma focused, split between mid market and large cap deals

Maybe Squire.
