Fried Frank Fires Back at Former Associate’s Discrimination Suit

Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson has responded forcefully to a former associate's suit that accuses the firm of denying her partnership because she is gay, ignoring her complaints about sexual harassment and instructing lawyers to write exaggerated negative performance reviews of unpopular associates. The firm is also facing two separate employment discrimination suits, one of which includes allegations of racial discrimination.
