Law firms in large Connecticut cities responded to the deadly bombings in Boston last week by taking a closer look at their crisis response plans.

Those with offices in both Boston and Connecticut took an even closer look on Monday, as some awaited word on office closures in Boston. At firms like Hinckley, Allen & Snyder, Wiggin and Dana, Murtha Cullina and McCarter & English, associates in Connecticut offices were told they might have to step in to help their Boston colleagues with work tasks if needed.
