The ABA Journal has confirmed with Dewey & LeBoeuf that the firm laid off 30 administrative staff members today. These layoffs occurred in the firm’s Los Angeles, New York City and Washington, D.C. offices. Dewey & LeBoeuf told The ABA Journal that “these changes are made necessary by an overall reduction in lawyer headcount.”  There was a 10% reduction in equity partners last year; PPP and revenue per lawyer increased while gross revenue declined by 11.3%.

Founded in 1909, Dewey & LeBoeuf is a New York City based firm with over 1200 attorneys and 25 offices across North America, Europe, Africa and Asia.
