Clifford Chance has laid off 20 U.S. litigation associates, citing "sluggishness" in the practice and stressing that the layoffs weren't performance-related.

But Clifford Chance's global litigation chair said the litigation layoffs were necessary largely because an uptick expected in that area had not arisen.
