A former partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP has filed a $67 million lawsuit against the firm in New York federal court, claiming age discrimination. The lawsuit alleges that the partner was forced out of the firm’s aircraft-finance practice group, pressured to resign, and ultimately terminated due to the firm’s CEO’s “stereotyped views of lawyers in their 60s.” The legal action brings attention to ongoing concerns about age discrimination in the legal industry, particularly affecting senior practitioners who contribute significant professional experience. The former partner’s case raises questions about workplace dynamics and age bias within law firms.
