After 09 how can we bring back Latham culture?
After the way the firm hired layoffs last year, I am still left wondering what can be done to bring back the Latham culture that kept so many of us at the firm. Our vault ranking has dropped, and I suspect that the quality of our summer class this year will not be the same.

There is no easy answer to the problem. Sure we have been offered money if we bill hours, and promised that there are no more cuts. But I am still left wondering, will LW ever be the same?

There could not have been a more important decision for Latham management to make than how to handle the layoffs, and the firm plain and simple rushed into it. This is bad management, period. For the most part the other V10 patiently waited for the right moment and the right approach. Fortunately for them we served up the exact model they should avoid, and they learned from our mistakes.
