ArentFox Schiff Seeks Dismissal of Age Discrimination Lawsuit Citing Evidence Destruction

ArentFox Schiff LLP has urged an Illinois federal judge to dismiss an age discrimination lawsuit filed by two former information technology contractors, arguing the case has been compromised by the plaintiffs’ actions. The firm contends that the plaintiffs have persistently destroyed evidence and discarded their mobile phones while the litigation was ongoing. These actions, they argue, should lead to permanent dismissal of the lawsuit. Full details on the case and the firm’s stance are available in a report by Law360.
