Law Shucks, Layoffs

On the one hand, according to Law Shucks, September was almost three times worse for layoffs than August. On the other hand, that’s still a lot better than May.
While we’ve been focused on the U.S. market, Law Shucks reports that the biggest September layoffs happened in the U.K.

Of the seven firms that laid people off, the biggest by far was Eversheds, which laid off 117 people (22 lawyers, 95 staff) – the largest layoff in over two months. The second-largest was UK IP firm Marks & Clerk, which laid off 60 people as it consolidated offices and scaled back due to the downturn (in a story broken by us, thanks to tipsters).

Still, as regular readers know, September was far from quiet on the home front.
