The National Law Journal is reporting that law firms save about $100,000.00 for each legal assistant laid off, and about $250,000.00 for each attorney let go. A chairman of a major law firm, who asked to remain anonymous, said his firm has cut legal staff. "What we're going to try to do is reduce secretarial-to-lawyer ratios," he said. "We haven't gone as far as we think we can go."

So you can save more than twice as much for letting an associate go, but they're letting assistants go at a higher rate? That doesn't make sense.
