Following a significant drop in gross revenues and partner profits in 2012, Washington-based law firm Patton Boggs has laid off 30 lawyers and 35 other employees, firm managing partner Edward Newberry said on March 1.

The 485-lawyer firm limited its lawyer dismissals to associates and staff attorneys. The laid-off staffers included paralegals, a public policy adviser and support staff. All told, the cuts saved the firm $14.7 million, according to Newberry.
