This firm is as New York-centric as they come, with East Coast roots almost 150 years old. With relatively inexpensive corporate services, including banking, corporate, labor, municipal and trust and estates departments, this firm is quite happy to remain a strong regional firm. To be sure, this firm can not be confused with the 'white shoe' New York firm. The perks are modest here, as are associate salaries. The attitude is grounded, though, and associates remark that they feel good knowing that their clients got great representation at a reasonable cost, and revel in the long-term relationships such customer service garners.
