Firms to stem cuts with damage limitation plans
Some of the UK's top law firms have started putting together back-up plans in a bid to minimise lawyer job cuts over the coming months. Firms including Simmons & Simmons, Taylor Wessing, Wragge & Co and Ashurst are among those thought to be seriously considering alternative options, as the number of legal redundancies in the City mounts by the day. Several firms are considering asking associates to take a period of unpaid leave, with Ashurst understood to have already offered this as an option to associates.
