Reports are circulating today of staff cuts at Arnold & Porter. Here is one account from a tipster:

44 staffers laid off yesterday at A&P – 24 from the DC office.

Arnold & Porter confirmed the new to Above the Law a short time ago:

[Arnold & Porter] can confirm that as of yesterday our firm had a reduction in force affecting 44 staff positions in the firm’s domestic offices. These positions are mostly administrative assistant/secretarial positions; no associates or attorneys were involved in the reduction.

Ranked #18 in you Vault guides, Arnold & Porter has weathered the recession better than some other firms. The firm is actually up two spots from its #20 Vault position last year. The firm froze salaries at the beginning of year, but hasn’t resorted to cutting salaries.
But no firm is immune to the economy. Good luck, laid off staffers.
