A former attorney of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP has filed a lawsuit against the firm in a Los Angeles court, on allegations of gender discrimination in pay and retaliation. According to the accusations, the retaliation was a response to the attorney’s vocal opposition to what they alleged to be “unethical billing practices” within the firm.
Notably, this marked the second discrimination suit laid against the firm since March. Legal professionals following the unfolding story may be interested in paying close attention to the original legal reporting on this matter as proceedings progress.
