Morgan, Lewis & Bockius is facing criticism from a John Doe plaintiff who alleges hypocrisy in the firm's handling of an antisemitism case involving Intel. The plaintiff, who claims he was dismissed from Intel for raising concerns about antisemitic behavior by a supervisor, has accused Morgan Lewis of defending antisemitic actions while publicly stating that such activities would not be tolerated at the firm. The plaintiff also criticized Morgan Lewis for attempting to reveal his identity, which he argues would put him and his family at serious risk. The firm and Intel have argued in court that the plaintiff's claims do not meet the threshold for anonymity and that providing it would prejudice the defense. Reporter Andrew Maloney has provided details of the underlying case and accusations against the firm in an open letter.
