Redundancy Watch: Denton Wilde Sapte
With the surging stock market and continual recovery, green shoots, recession exit messages plastered across the morning papers you’d be forgiven for thinking that the R word had retired from this economic chapter.
Unfortunately not however, as Dentons enters its second programme.
Dentons laid off 76 people earlier this year across London and Milton Keynes – a total of 37 fee-earners lost their jobs. The new redundancy programme will see twenty secretaries and nine support staff included in the consultation; no fee-earners will be affected. Details of the packages have not been revealed.
Any redundacnies are obviously bad news but we don’t expect to see quite the bloodbath that ensued this time last year. Fingers crossed.
