Published: February 13, 2009
TAMPA - Law firm Holland & Knight laid off 243 people, consisting of lawyers and support staff, at its 21 offices Thursday.
The number of employees affected in the Tampa office was not immediately clear.
Word of the layoffs created a buzz among local lawyers and legal blogs. Late Thursday afternoon, the company issued a statement saying 70 lawyer and 173 support positions had been eliminated. The firm did not say how many layoffs were in Tampa and did not name any affected employees.
Cuts were based on which practice sectors are shrinking and not likely to recover quickly and which are growing, the statement said. Employees who were laid off will be offered separation packages, a continuation of health care benefits and job placement assistance, the law firm said.
