Chairman Russell Welsh said the layoffs were from various practices, and were both “economy related” and the result of redundancies due to the merger.

Four of the lawyers laid off were the firm’s Kansas City HQ.

Polsinelli Shughart PC is the result of a merger between Polsinelli Shalton Flanigan Suelthaus and Shughart Thomson & Kilroy. The firms had combined revenue of about $174 million in 2008. Polsinelli ranked fifth and Shughart sixth on the Kansas City Business Journal’s most recent list of the top area law firms.
