Tell us about your biggest client wins this year. Michael Willemin handled various high-profile cases that received significant media coverage. Sixty-seven New York state legislators signed a letter in support of Willemin’s client after she was billed $185,000 by the arbitrators in her sexual harassment and gender discrimination case against Ernst & Young, which raised substantial awareness of the injustices of mandatory arbitration agreements. Willemin and the firm reached multiple seven-figure and high-six-figure dollar settlements. He also obtained dismissal of counterclaims.
