In an attempt to limit the fallout originating from a legal dispute with a former employee’s bankruptcy estate, Major, Lindsey & Africa, along with its legal counsel, have been alleged to consider purchasing an unfiled claim, as revealed in a recent filing in New York state court. Sharon Mahn, a dismissed Major Lindsey recruiter whose Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate is the source of the allegations, reportedly accused the global recruiting conglomerate of supporting inappropriate conduct.
Details of the ongoing case with the trustee of Mahn’s bankruptcy estate are peppered with discussions of trepidation regarding the broader implications of the lawsuit. Among these strategies, according to court documents, is the suggested move to arbitration, an approach often employed to manage contentious litigation more discreetly.
Earlier, Mahn had leveled accusations of sexual misconduct against the headhunting firm. This recent state court submission is the latest in a string of assertions probing the functionality of Major, Lindsey & Africa, and its approach to managing internal disputes.
