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

I’m 99% sure Morgan Lewis pays the same at all of their US offices, which is top of market. I’m at one of their smaller branches and I’m getting New York salary.
