Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney has undergone a firmwide staff cut this week that it attributes to the economy. At the same time, it is wrapping up its annual review period, at which point the attorney headcount will likely be lower because of performance issues, not economic reasons, the firm’s executive director, Nolan Kurtz, said Thursday.

Kurtz confirmed that Buchanan Ingersoll did “eliminate a number of administrative positions” firmwide. He placed the number at between 25 and 30 positions and said the cuts were made Wednesday.
