Ogletree Deakins Nash Smoak & Stewart, citing a recent improvement in business, has fully rescinded pay cuts for lawyers and staff that the national labor and employment firm instituted in May.

Effective Sept. 1, Ogletree lifted its 15% salary reduction for lawyers and 10% reduction for professional staff earning more than $100,000, according to a Wednesday statement from the firm. Staff earning less than $100,000 were not subject to the cuts. The firm announced the pay restoration internally on Sept. 8.
