Addleshaw Goddard, one of Britain’s largest firms, which announced in February it would cut 19 partners, has now announced the redundancies of 85 staff positions.
The layoffs target the firm’s Manchester office, and affect the business services division, including business development, human resources, information technology, finance, and secretarial.
No lawyers are being let go at this time, but the firm is instituting a salary freeze, and cutting pay for trainees. Addleshaw is also considering cutting hours.
Addleshaw Goddard LLP is a UK law firm, with almost 750 lawyers and 1,350 staff, based in Leeds, London and Manchester. It was formed in 2003 by the merger of Addleshaw Booth & Co with Theodore Goddard.
According to The Lawyer, a UK legal newspaper, Addleshaw Goddard was ranked 15th largest law firm in the UK by turnover in 2006.
