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

Anonymous | 30-Aug-2012 2:22 pm Catch yourself on. Your "I don't care" attitude suggests you're someone who has either managed to keep their job (for now, good luck) so you think you're immune, or you are a partner somewhere doing the firing. AG recorded significant profit uplift last year, so are clearly not struggling to maintain profitability with that cost base. All they are looking to do is add on additional super-earnings next year by cutting people who clearly aren't unnecessary overheads - they will presumably have aided the increased earnings through billable hours at higher (more senior) charge out rates. If profits had dipped there would almost be an excuse for adjusting the cost base, but to do it on the back of increased profits is just a touch greedy. And no, I am not an ex-AG employee or someone who has been made redundant.
