Wragge & Co to make 30 lay-offs

The Winds of Change Reading the comments above about the winds of change in the property market, I feel is no reflection on Wragge & Co other law firms will do the same its all part of working in the private legal sector in these changing times. No one wants to lose there job but if you take the good times you have to be ready for the bad times too. I’m sure this was not a decision taken easily Support staff and Legal staff work hand in hand the only difference is Legal staff stay longer and consequently a natural excess of Support staff will find there own way out of the system so I guess that is why its touching lawyers more . However, let us all remember these economic problems are here to pass not to stay and the Legal Market will be back on its feet again any Company that is a leader in its field have to make tuff decisions and Wragge & Co are no different. In the short term I’m sure it will not be easy for some of these lawyers but talented they are and all talented lawyers always find good work. Any firm should speak as one voice in times like this and thank them for there hard work over the years but alas we all cant sail in the same ship sometimes when market forces change. Best wishes to the 30 lawyers I’m sure they want need it because if they worked and trained at Wragge & Co then they all have something special within themselves to give to another firm
