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

What grates here is the fact that two/three years ago, when times were worse, fee earners at AG agreed to work a four day week, for the good of the firm. Yet now, at a time when AG's profit and PEP both increase, it decides to cull many senior non-partners who have no doubt done much to contribute to those improved figures. What's the point of being loyal if this is how your firm treats you? Good luck to AG and their ilk. It's only a matter of time, if that point hasn't already been reached, before sensible clients realise that mid-market law firms (or to quote their rmarketing patter - "full service" law firms) decide they need specailist lawyers and not "we can do that because we're a big firm" generalists. Those days are gone. The Magic Circle and boutiques will thrive. The generalists will wither. Bye bye.
