Mary Yelenick, a former chair of Chadbourne & Parke’s products liability group who last month sought to join a $100 million gender discrimination case against the firm, has filed a declaration with a federal court in New York detailing her claims and criticizing the firm’s methods of compensating partners.
“Over the past twenty years or so, I have repeatedly and consistently raised gender equity issues—surrounding compensation, promotions, training and advancement opportunities for women, and similar concerns—with the partnership and management of the firm,” said Yelenick in court papers. “However, my complaints have largely been ignored by firm leadership; at best, I have been given lip service, but nothing has really changed.”
