Bingham McCutchen Lays Off 10 Staff Members

By Dan Slater

A spokeswoman for Bingham McCutchen has just confirmed that the firm’s Hartford, Conn., office has laid off 10 staff members, including managers and administrative staff. No lawyers have been laid off.

According to spokeswoman Claire Papanastasiou, there are currently more than 50 members on Hartford’s administrative staff (and that number reflects the recent layoffs).

In May, Bingham laid off some 17 staff members in its Bay Area offices. “We don’t send and receive nearly as many faxes as we did five years ago,” said San Francisco managing partner Geoffrey Howard at the time. “And that has an impact on staffing and on how we organize ourselves.”
