When law firms lay you off, do they always give the standard 3 months salary and 3 months on the website? I’m looking at very likely being let go I think and I’m trying to plan ahead.

This time around it seems like website time is not being given as freely but comp is at least 3 months

Agreed - would have thought the same, but of friends I know let go (all midlevels of above), they’re given generous pay but getting very short website time.

In 2009, when there were official announced layoffs, there was no website time. Severance started at 3 months and then increased for people who had been at the firm longer than 3 years by an extra month per year at the firm beyond 3 up to 6 months. So someone at the firm for 4 years got 4 months; a relatively new employee got 3 months; and someone who had been at the firm 10 years got 6 months.

I mean, these were announced layoffs. That’s how all announced, large scale layoffs go.

Wsgr is 2 months comp.

No, not as far as I know.

Mine didn’t.

Would you mind sharing which firm it was?

It really depends on the circumstances of your departure. I don’t necessarily think there is any “standard” anymore. I’ve see a lot of variation over the years.

Mine did 3 months comp + website “until I got a new job” - thought that was fair

That’s nice based on my recent experience.

Not always.

Mine extended the website time 3 times for one month each. You can always ask.

Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
