[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Not a lawyer, but why would a firm lay off an associate in a busy practice area? Seems dumb. I like the idea of cross-training strong associates in dead areas though." Some will do it to protect partners whose practices have slowed down, but passing that associate's work on to the partner. I suspect that unless our economy does a sharp "V", [b]review time at big law will be ugly, with associates, of counsel and some non-equity partners getting false and overly-negative reviews in order to set them up for performance-based layoffs.[/b][/quote] Hopefully not. Why bother with this charade, when when they're at-will employees, and the firm can just "blame the economy."?[/quote]
