Addleshaw Goddard cuts 24 fee-earner roles at end of consultation

@Till Are you suggesting that the legal press shouldn't report redundancy situations? You seem to be arguing that the Lawyer should be a cheerleader for the sector rather than providing news and analysis. I suspect you probably are alone in your frustration, not least because there has actually been very little commentary on overall headcount reduction in the legal press - if anything this story has been quietly buried, there certainly hasn't been any fanning of the flames. Many national/international firms' offices in places like Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham are considerably smaller now than they were in 2004, let alone 2006/7 at the height of the boom. I haven't seen a single article in the Lawyer, Legal Business or Legal Week etc which has analysed the reduction in headcount in the UK offices of the top 50 firms.
