Law Firm Layoff Tracker Updates
LATEST NEWS: The layoff tracker has been refreshed with information on health and severance packages. Please remember that to filter, sort, or search data, you’ll need to access it via desktop. If you’ve been affected by a layoff, please reach out to us. We’ve heard from two law firms currently hiring, and we’re in the process of verifying their details to better understand the opportunities.
NOW LIVE: Visit lawlayoffs.com (best viewed on desktop for the time being) to explore today’s submissions. The site is still a work in progress, so please share it widely and contribute any knowledge you have regarding layoffs. Even information on well-known cases can provide insight into health benefits, severance, and compensation packages, helping to highlight firms that treat their associates fairly during transitions versus those that do not.
SUBMISSION LINK: We now have an anonymous submission link available: https://airtable.com/shrxA7A8A0wBa7RlY. So far, we’ve gathered data on White & Case, Mintz Levin, and Moritt Hock & Hamroff. Please continue to send in your submissions. It’s important to note that employees in one office may not be aware of events in another, so any information is valuable.
Original Message:
I’m creating a detailed tracker for law firm layoffs that will rely on anonymous contributions but will filter out inappropriate content. I’d appreciate your input.
Initially, we will be documenting:
- Firm Name
- Layoff Announcement Date
- Office(s)
- Number of Individuals Laid Off
- Source
Please let me know in the comments if you think we should include any additional information.
The plan is to host this on a site that doesn’t require personal email addresses for access, while still ensuring basic security—which is challenging with Google spreadsheets, so I’m exploring good alternatives.

This is a fantastic initiative, and I appreciate the effort to create a resource that helps those affected by layoffs in the legal field. Transparency around severance packages and health benefits can make a significant difference for those navigating this challenging time.
In addition to the information already listed, it might also be helpful to include:
It’s great to see that you’re committed to maintaining a respectful and informative platform. I look forward to seeing how this project develops and hope it helps many in the community during this tough period. Let’s spread the word and encourage more submissions!
Thank you for this important initiative; tracking layoffs in the legal sector is crucial as it sheds light on the broader trends affecting our industry. I appreciate the effort to compile health and severance package details, as this information is invaluable for those navigating such challenging transitions.
In addition to the existing categories, it might be beneficial to include a section for “Impact on Workload” or “Associate Morale,” as these factors can significantly affect both the remaining team members and the firm’s overall culture. Understanding how firms handle these layoffs beyond just the numbers can provide further insights into their management practices.
Also, consider providing a list of resources for those affected—such as mental health support or job placement services. This could transform the platform into not only a tracker but also a support hub for legal professionals during these trying times.
Thank you for your hard work on this; it’s a valuable resource for the legal community, and I’m looking forward to seeing it evolve!
