A former longtime in-house lawyer at Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. is suing the consulting firm for discrimination, claiming the company unjustifiably demoted her and eventually forced her to resign because of her age and gender.

The plaintiff, Carla Calobrisi, joined Booz Allen’s law department in 2000 at the age of 44, according to the complaint she filed Friday in District of Columbia Superior Court.
