We hear from a reliable source that Boston’s Goodwin Procter is asking some associates to leave for “performance reasons” —  but it’s really a layoff.

We don’t have any details about how many lawyers are affected, or which departments will lose headcount.

If you have any information, please let us know: legalalerts@gmail.com.

Goodwin Procter employs 900 attorneys in Boston, Los Angeles, New York City, Silicon Valley, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington, DC.

In 2005, Goodwin Procter absorbed over 60 attorneys from Testa, Hurwitz & Thibeault.
