Sonnenschein is a dead firm walking. Let’s see if they last the year.

Kirkland is the best firm I’ve ever worked at. They make plenty of money and are not going anywhere. I don’t know where that crazy rumor came from. Sure, they run the place like a military school, but they are fair and just.

the layoffs were firm wide not just NY — the majority at the home office. 2 secretaries were laid off on the west coast. and one fairly high up manager/director in nyc., trainers and one asst librarian?

57 – you don’t know what you’re talking about. These decisions were driven 700 mi. east of Chicago.

61 – Excellent post re support staff work at law firms. I too am a former law firm staffer. Ironically, law firms are now starting to treat Associates like support staff. They’re not hiring, limiting their pay, lowering bonuses, and firing willy-nilly.

61- You are on the money. I worked as a office administrator and when they laid off, it was individuals with good records, including excellent evals. The nuts and insane were left because they could be “controlled”.
