Former Biglaw Lawyer Files Suit Claiming Firm Fired Him Because of Nerve-Compression Disability

“A former lawyer at Arent Fox filed a lawsuit Wednesday that claims that his nerve-compression disability led the law firm to reduce his assignments, change his job duties, and then terminate his employment.” reports Debra Cassens Weiss in the ABA Journal.

“Cornell Crosby, an intellectual property lawyer, filed the disability discrimination suit in state court in Los Angeles. He is seeking $300,000 in economic damages, along with damages for emotional distress.”

“Crosby alleges that the law firm violated California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act by retaliating against him based on his disability, his medical leaves and his accommodation requests.”
