DLA Piper is laying off 80 associates in its U.S. offices. The international law firm also is cutting loose of about 100 staffers stateside. The announcement, made to attorneys and employees on Thursday, followed the firm’s decision earlier in the week to let go of 30 attorneys and 110 staffers in its U.K. offices.
The majority of the associates are in its corporate finance and real estate practices, said Francis B. Burch Jr., chairman of the 3,800-attorney firm’s global board. The downsizing will affect the New York office the most, where the firm will trim 16 associates. It is laying off 12 associates in Chicago. The other reductions are primarily on the West Coast. DLA Piper has about 1,370 attorneys in the United States.
