Two former Jones Day associates suing the U.S. law firm for sex discrimination and unlawful termination are hoping to fend off potential sanctions in the case with a sanctions request of their own.
The law firm of Jones Day is seen in Washington, D.C., U.S., August 30, 2020. REUTERS/Andrew Kelly - Two former Jones Day associates suing the U.S.
The former associates said in their sanctions motion Saturday that "they have no choice but to take action to stop Jones Day's frivolous attempt to force an end to this case by to inappropriate economic intimidation."on their claims that the firm underpaid Sheketoff because she's a woman and that its parental leave policy is biased against fathers like Savignac, as well as their claims of retaliation.
Sheketoff left the firm's Washington, D.C., office in August 2018. Savignac was fired after he emailed the firm demanding 18 weeks leave and threatening to fight the firm both in a court of law and in the "court of public opinion."
