EEOC Moves to Compel Testimony on Changing Sidley Partners' Status

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is suing Sidley Austin for age discrimination on behalf of 31 partners demoted or expelled in 1999, has moved to compel the firm to produce a deposition witness to testify about the firm's reasons for changing the partners' status.

Reed Smith Names Attorney to Director of Diversity Post

As Reed Smith's new director of diversity, Tyree Jones says his mission isn't just attracting smart, skilled attorneys who are ethnic minorities, gay or disabled.

He joined Reed Smith's San Francisco office in 2003 and, three years later, moved to Washington, D.C., where he's of counsel in the labor and employment group.
