SHRINKING: Tough times have finally caught up with Orange County law firms. In the past year, the four largest firms have reduced their staffs. Even some partners have been cut loose. . . . “We tend to react very slowly because we’ve invested so much in our people,” says Joseph D. Carruth, managing partner of Rutan & Tucker. . . . He blames fewer real estate transactions and fear of expensive litigation.
