Kaloma Cardwell, a Black former attorney with Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, has announced his intention to appeal his loss in a lawsuit. He had alleged that he suffered discrimination and retaliation while working at the firm.
Cardwell had served as an associate in Davis Polk’s New York office from the years 2014 to 2018. He had filed a notice of appeal recently with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
This move follows nearly a month after a jury rejected Cardwell’s claims. His assertions included being subjected to retribution for raising concerns about alleged racist behaviours within the firm, which led to unfair treatment such as termination and reduction in pay. More details here.
