In what one analyst said is a sign the law industry is rebounding from a recession, another New York City law firm is expanding its practice by opening an office in Stamford, Conn.

Meister Seelig & Fein LLP, a 50-attorney, full-practice Manhattan firm, opened a six-lawyer law office at 201 Broad Street in Stamford earlier this month. Among the six lawyers are former Robinson & Cole attorneys Alex Pencu and Chris Major.
