Connecticut Law Firm Successfully Defends Against Remote Work Bias Suit in Appeals Court Ruling

In a recent legal development, the Connecticut-based law firm Whitman Breed Abbott & Morgan LLC has secured a favorable ruling in an appeal case involving a former legal assistant. The case stems from the assistant’s claim of wrongful termination after she sought to work entirely from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday, a three-judge panel concluded that the accommodation requested by the former employee was not feasible, thus ruling in favor of the firm. The specifics of the ruling can be explored further in an article on Law360.
