San Fransico based Cooley Godward laid off 27 "business department associates" and 19 other staff today. The layoffs apparently affect all their offices EXCEPT Palo Alto and Reston, VA. It also appears (if I am reading correctly) that they are dumping their Kirkland, WA office. Read the memo, which is posted on the Greedy SF/SV Associates Board on infirmation.com.
