This is one of the most interesting opportunities in New Jersey. In fact, this firm boasts several key acquisitions from across the Hudson into their full-service large firm. We hear particularly good things about their real estate and banking regulatory practices. For those who like the pace and money in Manhattan, this may not be the best firm. But if you've nearly been flattened by a speeding cab one too many times, this firm should be a serious consideration.
