OPINION & ORDER   Plaintiff Luis Longhi (“Plaintiff”) brings the instant action against Defendant Lombard Risk Systems, Inc., a Vermeg Ltd Company (“Defendant”), asserting claims of breach of contract, unjust enrichment, quantum meruit, and age discrimination pursuant to the New York City Human Rights Law, (“NYCHRL”), N.Y.C.
