Yes, often firms are fine with this. Just watch out for them playing games with your salary. If Office 2 is in a lower tier city, often firms will tell you that you have to take a salary cut (and then, surprise surprise, they don’t change your rate). Or if it’s in a higher tier, they might tell you that you’d have to maintain your lower salary (but, surprise surprise, your rate increases). We’re really the worst.
HAHA! Thanks for the heads up there. Tier wise it would be a step up I think, at least market size. Thanks for the advice
While planning to move to another jurisdiction for family reasons, I studied for the other state bar in secret, used vacation time to travel and take it, and only proposed the move internally once I had interviews lined up in the the target market. The firm was very receptive to my request.
When my colleague was planning a similar move, I shared my experience. He instead asked up front about transferring. To my chagrin, the firm immediately offered to pay for his bar prep, exam and gave him time off to study and take the test.

I do have clients in market 2, and do do work up there for partners and the like. But the bulk of my client and work is/has been in market 1. I don’t want to do this move personally. But you gotta make the wife happy
I work in a different city where we have a satellite office and travel to my “home” office as needed (on my own expense) . I don’t work with anyone in the satellite office. Partners have told me they don’t care where I sit. I gather that this sort of arrangement is not too common but not unheard of.
My brother did this for his wife and moved from NY to DC within his big firm. One of the “soft” things that it could impact are your direct relationships with key equity partners if you are moving from the hub of the firm or practice group to a satellite office. Other than that most firms like to retain talent. The partner above my post makes a great point about the economics of partnerships.
