Arent Fox has hired away a seven-lawyer telecommunications group from Womble Carlyle.
The group, making up roughly half of Womble’s telecom practice, consists of partners Ross Buntrock, Jonathan Canis, and Michael Hazzard; counsel Stephanie Joyce; and associates Joseph Bowser, Adam Bowser, and Katherine Barker-Marshall.
This week Womble Carlyle let go an undisclosed number employees, at least 20 associates and staff. And the firm has cut pay by as much as 10% for “under-performing” lawyers, first- and second-year associates, and incoming associates.
Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, established in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1876, is one of the largest business law firms in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the United States.
Founded in 1942, Arent Fox LLP, formerly Arent, Fox, Kintner, Plotkin & Kahn, was ranked by the National Law Journal in 2007 as the 137th largest in the US.
