Howrey Axes 29 Associates, 65 Staffers

In a memo from firm CEO and managing partner Robert Ruyak, Howrey has announced a "reduction-in-force" affecting both associates and staffers at the firm. A Howrey spokeswoman confirmed that 29 associates and 65 staffers from Howrey's 10 U.S. offices are affected by the cutbacks. Howrey's six offices in Europe and one office in Asia are unaffected by the downsizing. The cuts come less than a year after the firm eliminated 25 members of its secretarial staff last April.
