Mayer Brown has announced that it is cutting 45 lawyers and 90 administrative staff across its US offices. In a statement released by the firm on Thursday (2 April), chairman James Holzhauer blamed the reductions on the prolonged downturn in the global economy, which has resulted in "reduced business activity by our clients".The cuts are the latest by the Anglo-American law firm. Last November it let go of 33 lawyers from its global network; while in March, the firm confirmed that up to 55 legal and staff jobs were under threat in London.
