The pace of law firm layoffs accelerated drastically nationwide in January, but Atlanta’s largest firms do not yet appear to be caught up in large-scale terminations of attorneys and staff.
Of the seven large Atlanta-based firms contacted for this story, four confirmed layoffs of attorneys or staff, with varying degrees of detail. Two firms said they haven’t had layoffs and another declined to comment. Recruiters at six firms contacted by the Daily Report, however, said they’re seeing resumes from lawyers at all the large firms.
