What exactly happens during a stealth layoff generally? I’m assuming they ask you to look for another job and let you stay on for a bit while you but is that correct? And during that time period do you have access to your firm email and laptop so you can use it to compile job application materials (list for conflicts checks etc.)? And do you get paid your year end bonus if you met your hours already if the layoff happens at you end of year review?

I think you're misinterpreting the term "stealth". Stealth layoffs are "stealth" because they are done with the pretext of being performance-related, so firms don't have to say the layoffs are motivated by cutting costs. It doesn't relate to how the associate is treated after they are let go.

What you describe is generally applicable to any person that is fired from a BL firm, regardless of whether it was part of a "stealth layoff". However, it varies among firms. At a minimum, you'll be given a period of time where you are not expected to work but you keep getting paid and you stay on the website. You may or may not maintain access to your email and laptop.
