A recent legal filing has put prominent defense law firm Marshall Dennehey in the spotlight, as former shareholder Keith Hansbrough has initiated a lawsuit against the firm. Allegations have surfaced of sexual harassment by Leslie Jenny, the managing shareholder of Marshall Dennehey’s Cleveland office, with Hansbrough claiming that Jenny not only harassed him but also failed to respond to additional harassment perpetrated by another shareholder. Further complicating the issue, Hansbrough contends that the firm’s upper management turned a blind eye when he reported these incidents.
The suit, filed at the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, is progressing through the legal system, while Marshall Dennehey has reportedly sought either dismissal of the case or a shift to arbitration. Full details can be accessed through The Legal Intelligencer, which first covered the story.
