A partner at Proskauer Rose told a Washington, D.C., federal court Monday that “rank-and-file” partners at her firm function as employees, not business owners, and the court should therefore reject Proskauer’s bid to dismiss her $50 million gender bias lawsuit.
Lawyers for the Jane Doe plaintiff at Sanford Heisler Sharp filed a flurry of papers opposing the firm’s motions for dismissal and summary judgment. The suit alleges that Doe was paid less than male counterparts, despite excelling as a partner, and that the firm marginalized her when she complained about unequal pay.
