Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman has laid off about 30 people, including associates, counsel, partners and non-attorney staff, according to a firm attorney close to the situation who said the layoffs were the result of a number of large cases nearing their resolution last year.

The job cuts affected mostly associates, the attorney said. There were also a few partners as well as some counsel and non-attorney staff involved. The New York office took the brunt of the layoffs.
