While a Blank Rome spokesman wouldn’t get into specifics as to the breakdown or which practice groups were affected, he said cuts at the 500-lawyer firm were made last week and were done across the firm. He said all of the people affected were provided with a severance package and outplacement counseling.

Phillie’s Ballard Spahr also laid off a number of secretarial and administrative staff last week, with reports putting the number at between 40 and 65. Up to 10 attorneys were also involved in the cuts.
