Michele Craddock, a former LeClairRyan partner, has accused the firm of widespread gender discrimination when it comes to compensation and promotions.
In a 32-page complaint filed Wednesday in federal court in Virginia, Craddock, 49, described a firm where an all-male leadership team has discretion to make nearly all policy, compensation and governance decisions. The suit claims that female lawyers rarely reach LeClairRyan's partnership ranks and are typically not paid fairly.
Craddock, a commercial litigator, now practices at her own firm with John Craddock Jr., another former LeClairRyan partner. Harris Butler of Richmond's Butler Royals, a lawyer representing Michele Craddock, declined to comment about his client's case.
