Fired Wall Street Exec's Gender Bias Case Moves to New Jersey as Both Sides File New Complaints
The flurry of allegations and filings sets up a central question for the federal judge presiding: Does Bramshill Investment's proprietary information-based complaint against ex-executive director Ashley Pullen amount to illegal retaliation in response to her gender discrimination claims?

On the same day that a female former executive director at Bramshill Investments launched a gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against the company, the Wall Street investment firm fired back with a misappropriation-of-trade-secrets suit lodged against her in a different federal court.
Now, former Bramshill executive director Ashley Pullen, who claims she was unfairly labeled as "aggressive" by the company and fired after she complained about gender inequities in work distribution, has levied a new complaint against Bramshill that expands on her previous one and states that Bramshill's same-day lawsuit—on Sept. 24—was simply a "retaliatory complaint alleging six spurious causes of action against Ms. Pullen."
All of it sets up what could become a knock-down, drag-out legal battle between Pullen and Bramshill, a 21-employee alternative asset manager with about $2.5 billion under management.
