Connecticut has some of the nation’s oldest and most storied law firms, but attorneys at a Stamford firm say they believe they have many of their competitors beat when it comes to staff longevity.

Silver Golub & Teitell, which also has offices in Danbury, Hartford and Waterbury, was having a party for one of its longtime paralegals last year when firm leaders realized some impressive statistics. One member of the firm’s support staff had been with the firm for more than 40 years; two had worked there for more than 30 years; four for 20-plus years; and four more had been on for more than a decade. Three staff members—the relative rookies—had all been with Silver Golub for more than seven years. In sum, it was a good reason to throw another party.
