Home, Law Firms, Layoffs

The rumors were true. K&L Gates has laid off 36 associates and 79 staff.

Today, with regret, we announce a reduction in workforce involving 36 associates and 79 staff in the United States. In addition, six lawyer posts are being considered for redundancy in the London office. These reductions (including the possible reductions in London) represent 4.9% of our associate lawyers and 4.3% of our staff. Each of the affected individuals will be personally notified today and informed of transitional arrangements.

K&L Gates LLP is a US law firm with over 1700 attorneys worldwide and is ranked as the 10th largest law firm in the world.
