Dewey & LeBoeuf has made a total of 96 redundancies in its now-defunct London office, with a core team of 12 support staff members retained by the administrators to assist with the wind-down of the business.

The firm’s UK limited liability partnership (LLP), which also includes the Paris office, was officially placed into administration yesterday at approximately 2pm, with BDO business restructuring partners Mark Shaw and Shay Bannon appointed as joint administrators.
