Reed Smith has cut 19 roles in its London office following a review.

The group consists of 13 lawyers and six professional services staff, according to a spokesperson for the firm, who added that eight of the redundancies were voluntary.

The Reed Smith spokesperson added in a statement: “Like all well-run businesses, during the normal course of managing the firm we continually evaluate the size and shape of our global organization to ensure that it matches the needs of our clients. Their requirements have evolved as a result of the pandemic and unfortunately this has led to a small number of redundancies.”
