Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker has denied reports in the US that the firm is laying off attorneys, writes The American Lawyer.
On Monday, Above the Law posted a leaked email to Paul Hastings associates from Shinyung Oh, a commercial litigation lawyer who was fired by the firm on 30 April. The email noted that she was let go six days after a miscarriage and a few months after a poor performance review. The legal blog touted the missive as proof of lay-offs and in a follow-up post said the firm had canned at least 22 associates.
