Top 50 Biglaw Firm Makes Cuts Due To ‘Redundancy Issues’
It seems that cost-cutting moves led to the layoffs.
Bonuses and raises may be trending among Biglaw firms, but news of layoffs is still sneaking in amid all the fanfare concerning compensation.
To that end, we’ve recently learned that Proskauer Rose — a firm that brought in $1,239,638,000 gross revenue in 2022, putting it at No. 39 in the Am Law 100 — cut ties with more than 20 members of its business professionals staff back in August. The American Lawyer has the details on the Biglaw firm’s layoffs.
Proskauer laid off 22 business professionals in August as part of a resolution of cost-cutting and redundancy issues, according to sources, noting that that’s about 3% of the firm’s business professional population. …
The law firm’s moves are consistent with a slew of large law firms making business professional cuts, often without any public announcement, as firms focused on efficiency, outsourcing and restructuring in the era of hybrid office arrangements.
