In a legal development from Davis Polk, the firm saw Jeh Johnson, a prominent Washington attorney, urge a jury to reject a retaliatory firing ‘conspiracy theory’. Johnson’s argument acted in defense of his client, Kaloma Cardwell, with claims suggesting she was dismissed as an attempt by partners to safeguard the reputation of the firm.
Representing Cardwell, attorney David Jeffries posits that his client was subject to retaliatory action, a claim Johnson strongly challenges. As the legal proceedings will continue to unfold, professionals in the legal sector eyeing the case will be eager to see which argument persuades the jury’s decision.
