Mayer Brown, a 127 year old law firm that advises 89 of the Fortune 100 companies and has 1,400 lawyers worldwide and around 1,000 in North America has announced the forced resignation of 33 people from offices in the US. The jobs to be cut include lawyers and support personnel.
No indication was given as to which location the jobs would be pruned from, but according to their website, they have a presence in the following US cities: Charlotte, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York and Washington D.C. You take your pick.
Citing "slowdown in economic activity," Mayer Brown becomes another tally mark on the increasingly lengthy list of companies downsizing in an attempt to better suit the post-debt bubble economy.
It is unclear where Mayer Brown is headquartered, but their original and largest office is in Chicago, Illinois.
