Law firm Jones Day and two former associates have reached a settlement in a lawsuit that challenged the firm's parental leave policy as discriminatory against men. The case, which had garnered significant attention, was resolved following a federal court ruling that indicated a trial was necessary. The couple involved in the lawsuit argued that the policy provided eight weeks less leave for new fathers compared to new mothers, which they claimed was biased. The settlement marks the end of a long-running legal dispute over the firm's family leave practices.
