Staff Layoffs at Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge
These Things Never Happen On Boston Legal
One of these days, I'm going to be able to lead off with some good news for attorneys or support staff. But it is not this day.
Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge has confirmed layoffs of a number of support staffers:
We have been engaged in a long-term review of our cost structure and due to improvements and efficiencies with our technology and processes, we determined that lower staffing levels are appropriate.Meeting and exceeding our clients' needs remains our top priority. We, like other law firms and businesses, continually strive to best position the firm. We felt it necessary to take proactive measures to align our talent with our client needs
We understand that 50 staffers were laid off: 25 from the Boston office, and 25 across all other EAPD offices. The firm said that no associates were laid off as part of this long-term review.
The firm could not provide us with information about the severance package offered to staff.
Some EAPD back story after the jump.
