Big law firms consider pay cuts, layoffs, due to coronavirus slowdown - Business Insider

Actions being considered range from across-the-board pay cuts to staff reductions, according to sources with direct knowledge of the matter including chairs of firms and advisers to them.

"The countervailing consideration, as you might expect, is that most firms cannot afford to lose top associates," he said. "We held on to most of ours during the recession and that proved to be a wise strategy." "Almost everyone I have been in touch with over the last two days, across more than a dozen large firms, is considering all options to keep their firms as resilient as possible."

"There is going to be a moral dimension to this," said Bruce MacEwen, an independent consultant to law firms who writes columns about firm management on his website, Adam Smith Esq. "Are you going to try to do the right thing, or the expedient thing?"

This is just smart business. We always hear 'people are greatest asset', 'so hard to hire good people', etc. Ptrs should cut their own pay now to keep staff on books. In the long run that's a better move even if they're focused solely on max'g their own profit.
