Shipman & Goodwin, which has four offices in Connecticut, announced Friday that it has cut five attorneys, five paralegals and 16 support staff in a “difficult and unfortunate” move, according to a statement from managing partner Scott Murphy.
Murphy further stated that the reductions were tied to the larger economic slowdown and the resulting decrease in demand for legal services. The layoffs were made “only after cutting other costs,” Murphy noted. In a telephone conversation, Murphy declined to elaborate on the layoffs and said the released statement was the only statement he would make on the matter.
