Layoff - dismissal - firedAbove the Law has fleshed out earlier reporting about significant staff layoffs at K&L Gates, this time with fairly specific numbers of people who have lost their jobs with the big law firm.

That source also said he or she knew of no attorneys who were included in the layoffs.
