Lat and ATL scooped again.

It wont be as bad as Latham, Orrick or OMM but it will be substantial.

thomas yannucci and jeff hammes - part of the senior management in NY have reserved all sorts of conference rooms for Friday. Management has been making a list all week and checking it twice. Expect losses both lit and corporate.

Good chance it will be a stealth layoff, but it's not clear. Depends on the numbers they are cutting. Expect 6 months severance ftw.

I think Kirkland is generally good and leads in compensation. If they are canning people, its a bad sign.

The big NY firms want to lay waste to the associate ranks too but its a prestige thing. I would guess its going to happen once Cravath and Simpson realize 150 first years wont work.

there are two components to these layoffs.

some are truly economic (real estate, structured finance, etc).

but lots are opportunistic firings of people who aren't well liked for whatever reason. my firm hired 2 people into a group then fired 2 other people a month later. it counted as a layoff, but it was really just a swap of people who weren't well regarded for people with the potential to be.

Chicago partner Kevan Evanich told the Chicago Tribune: "Kirkland, on the other hand, has no plans to curtail hiring, Evanich said. It's a lesson learned from the last recession. The firm reduced hiring and was burned when the economy turned around, he said."

it probably is a little busier for midlevels. For first years there is nothing to do in any of these areas b/c most of the first do work on new deals. For workouts there isn't much diligence or doing abstracts that first years usually do a lot of.

BTW, who is earl?

if they come they will probably be on the heels of their announcement at the end of the 1st quarter regarding whether they will freeze. they have fought them off so far, but the firm has a rep for being pretty conservative so i would say they evaluated the work flow over 1st qtr and will likely make cuts now.
