Tipsters are telling blawg Above the Law that major layoffs are going down at Latham & Watkins this week.
We’re hearing that 70 – 150 people will be laid off from Latham. We believe that it is all going to go down this Friday.
The layoffs will primarily affect the offices in New York, Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Conference rooms have been booked in all of those cities for Friday the 27th. The conference room schedule, which is available online for all Latham associates to see, is how most people are finding out about the layoffs coming at the end of this week.
If you have any info about these rumored layoffs, don’t tell the guys at ATL. Tell us instead!
