Hogan & Hartson has let go 30 senior associates this week, as part of the normal performance evaluation process.
Before the layoffs the firm employed 140 senior associates, defined as sixth-years or later. Those let go are said to have met basic performance standards, but were not progressing towards partnership.
Those affected have four months to find alternate employment.
