Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP Thinking of making a lateral move into big law, but not major office like NYC or Chicago. Work at a mid size regional law firm in Hartford, but billing big law hours (210-240/month) and getting paid %50 of market. Granted I’m in hartford. Do any big law firms with Hartford branches get paid top market? Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

Couple friends in that office. Most partners that left were non share partners.
The SP that left was pushed out.
Yes, there is not a lot of work and clients are leaving as a purported leadership shuffle is underway.
Office is very cliquey and prefers gunners from low ranked schools. This likely leads to the “ineffectual” part that people throw around (esp. when you compare the credentials of people at, say, Ropes to Kirkland). I’m not saying it’s justified (maybe it is, maybe not) but this is the reputation.
Gunners at low ranked schools don’t make an office ineffectual. Poor leadership does. There are many top caliber attorneys who went to lower ranked schools. There are also many shitty attorneys — who are lazy AF — that went to H/Y/S. Both exist at Kirkland and I have worked with both here.

HUGE PARTNERseniorassociate EXODUS
I don’t consider 1 partner leaving an exodus. You don’t know why that person decided to leave. Boston seems to be thriving and adding practice areas.
