An employee of White & Case LLP has filed a complaint in New York court alleging the firm discriminated and retaliated against him when he demanded an investigation into the dissemination of intimate photos taken of him at a firm party.
The New York Law Journal and Bloomberg Law report that the firm, and its parties, have become a “breeding ground for misconduct, sexual harassment, and the degradation of minority employees,” according to the complaint filed in the Bronx County Supreme Court.
The plaintiff, identified as John Doe, works as a digital production specialist at the firm. He claims that he was stripped naked and photographed by his supervisor while unconscious during a firm retreat in California in 2023.
A White & Case spokesperson told Bloomberg Law that the claims “are baseless,” and that the firm is “committed to maintaining a professional, respectful and inclusive workplace, and we have robust policies and procedures in place to support the high standards we have for our people and our Firm.”
