But this week&amp;#8217;s layoffs at Clifford Chance&amp;#8212;20 associates, all in litigation and dispute resolution&amp;#8212;as well as the layoffs just announced at Katten Muchin Rosenman and Sonnenschein Nath &amp;amp; Rosenthal, suggest that, in this volatile climate, there&amp;#8217;s more than enough doom and gloom to go around.&lt;?xml:namespace prefix=&quot;o&quot; ns=&quot;urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office&quot;?&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Julia Berris&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;&quot;&gt; argues in &lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;The Lawyer&lt;/i&gt; that the pink slips at CC may reflect the group&amp;#8217;s lack of traction (citing a U.S. partner: &amp;#8220;The reality is that Clifford Chance doesn&#39;t have the heavy hitters it needs to build a practice&quot;) rather than an industry-wide slowdown. Undercutting that cool bit of comfort, however, is her concluding query: &amp;#8220;If litigation can tank in current market conditions, which practice group will be next?&amp;#8221;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: &#39;Arial&#39;,&#39;sans-serif&#39;&quot;&gt;- posted by vera&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
