AND A LIST OF AMLAW 200 FIRMS AND THEIR EMPLOYMENT MOVES
It is unfortunately true that we spend a great deal of our time now commenting on layoffs, partner departures, redundancy consultations and such matters. Here are two additional notes on the topic.
Incisive Legal Intelligence has available to subscribers (call or e-mail for the link!) a spreadsheet of office openings and closings, significant lateral moves and practice area openings and closings, and news of layoffs and involuntary partner departures appear on it from time to time. More comprehensive, though, for only employment changes is a list that is maintained and updated on the site of our flagship publication, The American Lawyer. You can access it here .
As might be expected in economic times such as these, there are different approaches to layoffs and retrenchments. An article the main law.com page takes up the question of whether firms are better off shedding associates or staff members. Some of the conclusions may surprise you. Astute readers will also catch various constituencies making a case for their value to their employers.
