Powerful New York law firm Sullivan & Cromwell has been hit by a lawsuit from Aaron Charney, who works there as an associate, alleging harassment, discrimination, and retaliation by partners and employees at the firm, according to legal tabloid Above the Law and The Daily Transom.
According to the Transom, who spoke with Charney, “he is still employed at the firm, and is representing himself.”
The full complaint is available here.
Bet it's not too comfortable running into the partners around the office water cooler.
UPDATE: The NYT published a story today regarding the lawsuit and they have more details of the complaints and a few responses from partners.
