Ideally you’d have a competing offer to use as a bargaining chip. I’d also consider how this move helps your career growth in general. E.g., coming from small/mid law with $150k salary and no other options open, I’d take the $210k without any haggling.

Bit like to directly answer your question I’d say maybe $225k? Just a guess
