McKee Nelson Ousts 6 Lawyers, 40 Staff

McKee Nelson, which last November laid off 17 lawyers and 15 staff, has announced a new round of cuts; six lawyers and 40 staffers.

The affected individuals have been notified, and the firm is providing four months of severance. The firm is also paying for four months of COBRA premia.

The affected lawyers and staff are talented professionals who have been valued members of our firm. All are in good standing and none of these layoffs are performance-based. We will miss our colleagues and are doing what we can to assist them.
