Ernst & Young fires 240 people
Ernst & Young, one of the nation's largest accounting firms, said yesterday that it had dismissed about 240 people involved with its legal work, including 37 of its 65 lawyers. The firm also disclosed that it had replaced its general counsel, Carl D. Liggio, on Oct. 1.
Under Mr. Liggio, Ernst & Young's legal department grew sharply beginning in 1989.
