Morgan, Lewis & Bockius on Wednesday announced it had added the global head of Sidley Austin's labor and employment practice as the firm fields a crush of cases and investigations related to workplace bias and misconduct.
The firm needs more people who can help manage the firm's high volume of #MeToo investigations and cases, which is why Ami Wynne's experience in conducting internal investigations into allegations of discrimination, harassment and other misconduct makes her an ideal candidate, said Grace Speights, the head of Morgan Lewis' labor and employment practice.
"I can't tell you how many we're doing because we're doing so many. I get at least one or two calls every week for a #MeToo investigation," Speights said. "We see Ami as helping carry some of that load."
