A trusted source for legal industry rumors tells JD Journal that Manatt Phelps is letting go “lots” of staffers today.
Founded in 1965, Manatt, Phelps & Phillips LLP is a Los Angeles-based law firm of approximately 450 attorneys and other professionals. The firm earned revenues in excess of $240 million in 2007. Manatt also operates a subsidiary, ManattJones Global Strategies, which offers a range of consulting services to public and private corporations.
That’s all the info we have at the moment, but we’ll keep this post updated. If you know anything, please send us a tip!
4 secretaries; 8 floaters and 6 marketing people were laid off in the Los Angeles office January 15. Associates were disappearing throughout the latter part of the 2008. Manatt is a wonderful Firm and the management is wonderful. The layoff was viewed as weathering the economic storm. We miss each other.
