Day Pitney's Chief Talent Officer, Laurie Mallach, was quoted in the Connecticut Law Tribune and New York Law Journal articles, "So Long, New York: Big Law Attorneys Are Seeking Jobs in Connecticut to Flee the Pandemic." The article discusses statistics that show more New Yorkers leaving for Connecticut, including Big Law attorneys.

Mallach explains several reasons for this major change, including that, "[Connecticut has] very good schools, more space, and people know they can still get challenging work in Connecticut with a sophisticated client base."
