Jobs cut at law firm
Two positions have been axed, and two more downsized, at law firm Attride-Stirling and Woloniecki.The firm, which now employs roughly 25 people, terminated two administrative positions held by Bermudians in its litigation department. Two others were reduced to part-time positions one of which was held by a Bermudian worker.Asked if the cuts had been brought about by the economic downturn, managing partner Barclay Simmons said: “That’s part of it, but the reality is that we’re restructuring the way we do our business. We’ve seen growth in some areas. We’re hiring in our corporate department, but we’re flat in terms of litigation.”The Hamilton firm handles mainly commercial and corporate law.Mr Simmons said the company was working to find positions at other firms for the two whose positions were cut.The cuts were made at the close of the company’s financial year, at the end of September.
