Several H&H attys joined Dorsey & Whitney which does have an office in SLC. Still, your point about fees is well taken.

Current "market firms" (about the top 60 firms) pay what I noted above.

I think big business is growing in Utah and those firms want a cut. Small biz is still going to look for less costly rep

Not good but fewer firms are up or out these days.
