Clifford Chance to Cut Moscow Head Count by 20 Percent
Clifford Chance is targeting a 20 percent reduction in lawyer head count in its Moscow office over the current financial year, with the firm's Middle East offices also set for a potential drop in numbers. In Moscow, Clifford Chance has laid off around six lawyers through individual consultations, with the office losing another 24 lawyers through natural attrition, taking the total lawyer numbers down to about 150 in the office.
