In what may be a sign of continued weakness in the commercial litigation market, one of Connecticut's largest grossing law firms confirmed last week that it is laying off as many as 40 people, including support staffers and attorneys.

Top executives at Day Pitney said Thursday the layoffs were spread firmwide, and include up to 10 attorneys. Day Pitney's two main offices are in Hartford, Conn., and Florham Park in northern New Jersey, with additional offices nestled between Boston and Washington, D.C.
