NEW YORK, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Steven Eckhaus, an employment lawyer known for negotiating multimillion-dollar pay packages for Wall Street executives, moved firms on Thursday.

Eckhaus's clients have included Thomas Montag, former chief operating officer of Bank of America (BAC.N), and Bob McCann, ex-chairman of UBS Group AG in the Americas.
