A former Mayer Brown LLP attorney has filed a lawsuit against the firm, alleging disability discrimination following her breast cancer diagnosis. The attorney claims that Mayer Brown refused to accommodate her medical condition, retaliated against her, and eventually terminated her employment. This case is part of a broader trend of legal actions against large law firms, with other lawsuits including allegations of sexual harassment and discrimination. Notably, a former Thompson Hine LLP attorney's lawsuit is under scrutiny for failing to demonstrate gender bias, while Duane Morris is facing accusations of misclassifying non-equity partners to shift business expenses and taxes to underpaid female and nonwhite attorneys.
