Chadbourne Sex-Bias Class Action Adds Six Partners as Defendants
The woman partner who filed a gender discrimination class-action against Chadbourne & Parke leveled new accusations in an amended complaint on Thursday, including that the firm’s head of litigation placed a cartoon of a fat man in a bowler hat on her wall and took a postcard from her office, reports Bloomberg Law.
The complaint includes new allegations from former partner Jaroslawa Z. Johnson who is joining current partner Kerrie Campbell as a named plaintiff in the suit. Johnson ran the firm’s Kiev office for nearly 10years.
Reporter Stephanie Russell-Kraft writes that the complaint also adds six individuals as named defendants, including Abbe Lowell, the head of litigation based in D.C., and four members of the management committee — Andrew Giaccia, the firm’s managing partner; Lawrence Rosenberg, Howard Seife, and Paul Weber, who are all located in New York City. Marc Alpert, a former member of the management committee, is also named as a defendant.
