Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner has laid off 47 employees in business services roles across its global footprint, the law firm announced Thursday morning. The cuts include employees in all 17 U.S. offices, two U.K.-based employees, and 11 employees across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
In a statement, Bryan Cave said that the cuts were focused on secretarial and administrative roles that came to signify excess capacity after the firm conducted a “comprehensive review of support ratios.” No lawyers were impacted by the cuts.
