Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP Thinking of making a lateral move to big law, but not a major office like nyc or Chicago. I work in a regional law firm in Hartford but bill big law hours (210-240 average). Wondering if any big law firms with Hartford locations still get paid top of market? Does a big law firm with a smaller Hartford branch still have same expectations as nyc or Chicago offices? Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

I asked recruiters about the CT market - I’m a NY associate who spent part of 2020 in CT. Was told nowhere pays NY Cravath scale, but was mostly looking Stamford and New Haven and didn’t hear anything about Morgan Lewis in particular.

Morgan Lewis, Akin Gump, Bracewell, and Brown Rudnick have offices in Hartford and pay at or around big law. Otherwise the first comment is pretty accurate regarding the CT market.
