In a second round of layoffs since December, Indianapolis-based Baker & Daniels has cut more than 15 positions.
The 320-attorney firm has also imposed a wage freeze, according to managing partner Tom Froehle, on what the Indianapolis Business Journal describes as "all operational staff."
Froehle confirms that nine staff positions have been cut, but declines to specify the total number of layoffs, the publication writes. Citing an unnamed law firm source, it says the new layoffs include five Indianapolis associates and, split between the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, Ind., offices, two administrators, four paralegals, three administrative assistants and two marketing professionals.
In December, Baker & Daniels laid off 22 individuals.
Besides Indianapolis and Fort Wayne, the firm also has offices in South Bend, Ind.; Washington, D.C.; and Beijing.
