&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The great BigLaw de-leveraging of 2009 shows no sign of slowing down. Thus far today, 3 major firms, K&amp;amp;L Gates, Morgan Lewis, and White &amp;amp; Case have all announced layoffs. White &amp;amp; Case alone is axing 200 (!) associates. According to a source at the firm, the affected attorneys at W&amp;amp;C will not learn whether they are the hit list until tomorrow. This approach&amp;#8212;making the general announcement and letting the associates fret over their fates for an extra day&amp;#8212;seems odd, bordering on sadistic. And ATL reports today that Davis Polk has been conducting stealth layoffs since December. So the bell tolls even for a charter member of the Wall Street elite&amp;#8212;Davis Polk is one of those lofty firms that many would consider above the grubbiness of layoffs, cutbacks and other compromises with economic reality.
