A tipster informs us that Texas’ Brown McCarroll has laid off a “significant number” of attorneys and staff in its Austin, Dallas and Houston offices.
From the tipster (edited for length):
All the personnel who received the proverbial “pink slip” were given no notice of the impending dismissals. In fact, the day of receiving notice of the layoff was their last day of employment. Strong hints were given to the surviving attorneys and staff that further layoffs are still being considered. Capital partners beware — you are not immune. Inside information suggests an additional three dozen or so attorneys and staff could be laid off within the next three to six months.
Seventy-year-old Brown McCarroll has historically focused on litigation as a core practice area. Its 2003 merger with business law firm Hilgers & Watkins added a corporate and transactional practice.
