LS&C, aren't these the nice people who let support staff go right before July 4th? Ah, I love this profession!

If memory serves, Rory left some time ago to great fanfare that he was doing so to better focus on his television show. Not being into lopsided political drivel (seriously, Amy Tarkanian? Can't the Republicans com up with a better rep for the show?) I've never actually watched it but I'm sure it is a full time job necessitating his departure as a partner from LS&C.

There's also Bob Faiss (deceased), Marla Hudgens and Ryan Andersen who have left fairly recently.

John Naylor and Jennifer Braster just opened up their own firm. I hear Max Couvillier left. Today, when I clicked for the attorneys page, I got this message "The web site you are accessing has experienced an unexpected error. Please contact the website administrator."

Bad web hoster is bad. Also ls&c isn't contracting or downsizing its imploding. Bleeding talent.
