Nationwide Layoff Watch: Bingham Axes Staff
(Not earth-shattering news; we just want to be thorough.)
Okay, this is not the most exciting layoff news ever. It pales in comparison to the massive bloodshed over at Cadwalader this morning, which forced us to break out the Drudge siren. It reminds us of those Kaye Scholer secretarial layoffs from May, just not as big.
But when it comes to law-firm layoff coverage, we try to be as thorough and as granular in detail as possible. If people click on the Layoffs tag here at ATL, they should be able to access, in one place, news of all acknowledged — and some unacknowledged — layoffs at Am Law 200 firms, covering both lawyers and staff.
So, with that said, check out the WSJ Law Blog, for news of staff cuts at Bingham McCutchen.

I'm have more appreciation for my decision to stay in a regional market every day... QoL and job security are nice assets to have.
Spoken nicely by a TTT'er.
Sounds like a whole lot of paralegals wouldn't go down on witnesses.
It is always the darkest before the dawn.

Hartford Conn is not a regional market?
"I am have more appreciation for my decision"
I usually don't copy-edit the work of other posters, but this snafu is too conspicuous for me to pass up.
"I appreciate my decision to stay in a regional market more each day."
Or:
"I've gained appreciation for my decision to stay in a regional market."
this post is the very definition of "poopin in a hat"
me no like layoffs. they bad.
Favorite comment from WSL: "Bingham is so TTT, they can't even beat [CWT] at layoffs."

secretaries are people too. geez.
Someone has to tell Bingham that the "A" sans line makes them look like total DBs.
please don't use the term "granular." it's stupid, and it makes my eyeballs fall out.
were this jeremy pitcock's secretaries?
Open thread on OCI, please, Lat?
Hey Captain Grammar (6)....nobody likes you.
I thought ATL was the leader in layoff coverage. Why is it that twice today Lat's been out-scooped by WSJ LB???
I would not be patting yourselves on the back for being thorough or "granular." I personally know people who were laid off Clifford Chance, Sidley, Shearman, Cahill and Schulte. I'm sure there are lot's of others as well but those are ones I happen to know. My guess is that those were characterized as performance driven but they always (well now, usually) say that.
Layoffs at Sidley? I don't think so.
