Has anyone heard anything about Trial Attorneys, Sr Trial Attorneys, Counsel, Lead Counsel, Managing Lead Counsel....Staff Counsel Offices (SCOs), etc etc?
We were told that the entire company was on the block, but when you look at our operation as a cost saving effort, we save the company TONS of money in legal fees. I've heard that eliminating some smaller offices and having attorneys go remote is going to be the way to go. Maybe centralizing some scheduling efforts and eliminating admin and para positions? Does anyone know? Word has gotten out on the street about our changes, and opposing counsel have started talking about us amongst themselves. It could make resolving cases more difficult if they won't do it, or get off the pot.
