Jenner & Block Eliminates 34 Staff

Jenner & Block has laid off 34 staff at its Chicago and Washington, DC offices.

No attorneys were affected.

The firm says the layoffs were the result of “advances in technology and more collaborative approaches to staff support.” Which I’m sure is comforting to those fired.

Jenner & Block is a US law firm with offices in Chicago, New York, and Washington, DC. Over 450 attorneys serve a wide range of clients in corporate litigation, business transactions, and in the public sector.
