Littler Mendelson, the nation's largest labor and employment firm, is one of the latest big firms to announce pay cuts for attorneys and staff in response to economic uncertainty from the pandemic. The salary reductions will range from 4% to 20%, with equity shareholders taking the largest cuts.

While Littler is not laying off or furloughing any employees, it will cut pay by 50% on June 5 for staff who are unable to work remotely, the firm said in a statement Tuesday.

The expense trimming at Littler and other national labor and employment firms come even as these firms have seen a rush of employer questions on workplace issues during the pandemic. Other L&E firms cutting expenses include Fisher & Phillips, which has cut pay for lawyers and staff while furloughing some non-remote employees, and Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, which has furloughed some staff and reduced hours for others who can't work remotely.
