Departures Force Layoffs: Pettis, Tester, Kruse & Krinsky, an Irvine law firm that witnessed the departure of nine attorneys this week, has laid off six members of its support staff.
“They’re all good people,” senior partner Bruce A. Tester said. “We just don’t have a need for them with nine lawyers leaving. This downsizes us by about 25%.”
The nine lawyers are opening a new firm, Hewitt & McGuire, in Newport Beach on Monday.
Tester said no further layoffs are planned.
