A former recruiter for Major, Lindsey & Africa (MLA), Sharon Mahn, who was previously dismissed in 2009 on allegations of stealing trade secrets, intends to bring charges of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse of process against her ex-employer in court. This information comes to light from recent bankruptcy filings tied to Mahn’s financial estate.
A bankruptcy estate filing reveals that as part of the procedures and schedules associated with Mahn’s bankruptcy, the ex-MLA legal recruiter lists claims against the legal recruitment firm, MLA, grounded in “sexual harassment/assault, abuse of process and related claims”. This was confirmed in a statement from the Chapter 7 trustee of her bankruptcy estate.
It’s worth noting that Mahn did not depart the firm under ordinary circumstances. She was not just terminated, but also faced a substantial $2.7 million judgment in arbitration for allegedly purloining trade secrets.
