Dentons Cuts 37 Lawyers, 39 Staff

Denton Wilde Sapte has cut 37 lawyers and 39 staff.

The redundancy process was completed last week, after a consultation with 80 staff members in the firm’s London and Milton Keynes offices.

Dentons says half of the redundancies were voluntary. Three staff members kept their jobs after agreeing to take a six-month sabbatical, and one employee switched jobs.

Laid-off staff will be offered an “enhanced” redundancy package, as well as assistance in training costs and career counseling.

Denton Wilde Sapte LLP, or Dentons, is a law firm headquartered in the City of London that employs over 600 lawyers.
