This mid-sized, full-service firm has some really incredible opportunities for a lawyer who is in or is interested in relocating to New Jersey. Convenient to Manhattan (including a satellite Manhattan office), this firm sets reachable goals for partnership. Furthermore, 1,800 hours gets a $10,000 annual bonus, which for most big-firm attorneys is something they can acheive in their sleep.
