Over a century old, this firm is a strong regional presence. With its New York office being its most cosmopolitan office by far, salaries are not competitive with national firms with similar practice areas. However, with well developed practice areas particularly in state court commercial litigation, this firm consistently delivers good work. The firm strongly prefers the Northeastern born and bred--from law schools to clients. And, more importantly, associates are expected to make substantial contributions to the firm in terms of work product and, over time, to business development. Manhattan associates who feel superior to their suburban counterparts will not be tolerated--the order of the day to contribution and cooperation.
