building a better legal profession

National Pink Slip Report (from betterlegalprofession.org)

Firms laying off the equivalent of 5% or more of their non-partner U.S. lawyers from February 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010. Thanks to Lawshucks.com Layoff Tracker for layoff data.

*Estimated U.S. nonpartner lawyer layoff percents were calculated by dividing firmwide attorney layoff counts by the number of nonpartner lawyers in U.S. offices. In some cases this may potentially result in an overestimate of the percent of U.S. nonpartner lawyers laid off. Firms in this position are invited to provide BBLP with U.S.-only layoff counts via email to BBLP President Davida Brook at davida.brook@betterlegalprofession.org.
