"With a Biglaw firm officially blaming staff layoffs on AI, what is it going to look like if and when layoffs come for lawyers? It's unlikely to look the same for every Biglaw business model. And it could look even more different for boutiques. Embattled Goldman Sachs chief legal officer Kathryn Ruemmler announced that she'd be leaving her role after her Jeffrey Epstein connections came out in the last file dump."
"And we found out that the late Ken Starr thought of Epstein as a brother, which tracks. We also saw the first majr firm strike a blow against the expedited law school recruiting cycle."

Layoff patterns are likely to vary across Biglaw business models, with boutiques potentially experiencing different effects. Kathryn Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs chief legal officer, resigned after her Jeffrey Epstein connections appeared in a recent file dump. The late Ken Starr reportedly regarded Epstein as a brother. One major law firm pushed back against the expedited law school recruiting cycle. These developments indicate technological, reputational, and recruiting pressures converging on large and small law firms.
