[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I am in the L&E group, which has been busy. Practice group leader told an of counsel in the group that the firm is seriously looking at furloughs and layoffs, including for partners without a 100% equity interest in the firm.

I’m a traditional labor lawyer and service the book of a fairly of a fairly big rainmaker so I hopefully have some job protection, but who knows. [b]The employment litigators have to be fairly worried right now[/b]. [/quote]
Haven't they been busy counseling clients on FFCRA, CARES, WARN, furloughs, unemployment, severance agreements? The ones I know have been. I can see why traditional labor would not be as busy with manufacturing shut down. [/quote]

It depends.  If you are a pure litigator, you really aren’t that qualified to do the counseling side as they are very different skill sets.  I would expect the litigation to heat up at some point, but it will be hard to prove that layoffs were X protected class related, when it will be easy to point to the pandemic.[/quote]
