For at least the second time this year, the legal placement firm Lateral Link is battling one of its own former recruiters in court.

In a new lawsuit filed in state court in Los Angeles, former Big Law attorney and Lateral Link recruiter DeAnne Ozaki claims that the agency misclassified its California workers as independent contractors. As a result, she alleges, workers at the company were underpaid and denied basic entitlements like overtime and meal breaks.
