Hogan Lovells has lauched a redundancy consultation in its London tax practice, with four associate positions at risk.

The consultation, which is being led by a partner within the group, started today (19 November), and will see a number of the group's associates assessed based on current and expected work levels as well as personal performance.

Hogan Lovells' London tax practice currently has five partners and 14 associates. It works with clients including Barclays, ExxonMobil and Ford.

Legacy Lovells made its last round of London layoffs in April 2009, when 79 legal and support staff left the firm. That redundancy consultation had kicked off at the beginning of February, with a total of 96 jobs reviewed.
