Linda Perkins, counsel at Philadelphia-based law firm White and Williams, has sued her firm, alleging that she was denied career and business development opportunities because she is an African American woman.

Perkins alleged that she made complaints about being marginalized and harassed at White and Williams, which she described in her suit as “a homogenous, almost exclusively white, male-dominated law firm.” She alleged that the firm responded to her complaints “by shunning her and shutting her out of almost all meaningful work and professional opportunities.”
