Layoffs
What layoffs? Law firm says it has 'reduced the population by a handful of attorneys'
Hughes Hubbard & Reed is denying a report about planned layoffs at several offices.
Tipsters told Above the Law that the firm announced on Monday it would lay off people in several locations, though Kansas City would be taking the hardest hit. The law firm responded that the information is “completely untrue.”
“There have been no firm-wide layoffs,” a spokesperson told Above the Law. “In Kansas City, we have reduced the population by a handful of attorneys and by some litigation analysts whose specific expertise was focused on a client whose litigation needs have slowed.
“No layoffs are planned. Our litigation practice remains a powerhouse.”
