Mayer Brown LLP Fires 28 Lawyers and 47 Staff Members


Herbert Krueger Jr., chairman of Chicago-based firm Mayer Brown LLP, sent out a firm-wide email announcing that the firm has fired 28 lawyers and 47 non-associate staff members.

''Prudent management requires that we align firm-wide personnel levels with current and anticipated demand for legal services,'' the e-mail said. ''Despite this action we see encouraging signs for 2010.

Approximately 500 jobs were lost in the legal sector in March, according to reports from the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Luvera Law Firm to Represent Families of Tesoro Fire Victims
Sue Evans, spokeswoman for the Luvera Law Firm, is confirming that they will be representing a group of families of the victims of the Tesoro Refinery fire.

A blast and fire killed four people at Tesoro Corp.'s refinery in Anacortes, Washington earlier this month.

Paul Luvera, the firm's founder, is a native of Anacortes. According to Evans, he will associate with Texas firm Provost & Umphrey in the case. Provost aided Luvera in a 1999 case which led to a result of a $45 million settlement for the plaintiffs.
