An employment discrimination and wrongful termination suit filed in California against Bingham McCutchen by a former associate afflicted with a rare sleep disorder has settled.
Hartwell Harris, a litigation associate in Bingham’s Santa Monica office from 2007 until 2011, sued the firm in Los Angeles Superior Court in November 2011. Bingham litigation partner Seth Gerber and entertainment, media and communications chair Jonathan Loeb—both of whom are based in Santa Monica, where Loeb serves as the firm’s office managing partner—were also named as defendants.
