Kirkland & Ellis Layoff Bloodbath FRIDAY
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 4th, 2009 11:46 PM
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. |

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. |

Kaye Scholer & Proskauer have already gone, which suggests its just a matter of time
i like how it is now open season on 1st years. the class of '08 is in for a lot of pain the next few weeks |

no more coasting for 3 years not doing real work. |

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. |

can you do good work at 3am? people judge you if you can't.
can you focus and stay detail oriented on something brutally boring? |

restructuring is booming. ip and lit are both reasonably busy. i have to imagine that we are weathering the storm as well as, if not better than, a lot of other firms. |
