Summertime is generally a slow one for law firm hirings and promotions. But several Connecticut firms have released announcements regarding professional staff in recent weeks. Those include McCarter & English, which has bolstered its labor and employment practice with two attorneys, one in Hartford and the other in Stamford.
Hugh F. Murray III, a labor and employment attorney, has joined McCarter & English as a partner in the firm’s Hartford office. He works with clients in the manufacturing, transportation, education, utilities, energy, health care, retail and hospitality industries in connection with union-related issues. He also handles claims of wrongful discharge, discrimination, unpaid wages, breach of contract, breach of noncompete or nonsolicitation agreements and other disputes throughout New England. Murray was previously a partner at Murtha Cullina in Hartford.
