Implementing a restructuring plan announced earlier this year to deal with the dismal economy, Allen & Overy laid off about 250 lawyers and 200 staff today.

Among the lawyers being let go are 47 partners, reports Legal Week.

Another 35 partners at the London-based "magic circle" international firm are either having their pay cut or being de-equitized.
