We reported yesterday that Kilpatrick Stockton had laid off 24 lawyers.
This morning, police and firefighters responded when Mark Levy, Washington DC-based counsel and chair of Kilpatrick Stockton’s Supreme Court and Appellate Advocacy practice, shot himself at the DC office.
According to a JDJournal tipster, he was one of those let go this week.
Levy’s listing on the firm’s web site says he was a Yale Law School grad, a former member of the Clinton DOJ and a member of the adjunct faculty at the University of Virginia School of Law.
Kilpatrick Stockton employs more than 500 attorneys in ten offices globally: Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia; Charlotte, Raleigh and Winston-Salem, North Carolina; New York, New York; Washington, DC; Dubai, UAE; London, UK; and Stockholm, Sweden.
