Littler Mendelson Pushes Back
Littler Mendelson has denied any wrongdoing, asserting that Ko’s claims attempt to interfere with the firm’s attorney-client relationship.
“We believe there is no legal basis for any of her claims in this lawsuit, and we intend to defend against those claims vigorously on behalf of the client and our firm,” said Jennifer Klein, Littler’s senior director of marketing.
Representatives for Ko, Kim, and Swiftly have not yet responded to requests for comment.
Legal Battle Ahead
Ko is represented by attorneys Jeremy Heisler, Russell Kornblith, and Miranda Katz of Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight LLP. Counsel for Kim, Swiftly, and Littler has yet to be disclosed.
As the case unfolds, it promises to shine a harsh spotlight on corporate power dynamics, discrimination, and the legal responsibilities of firms entrusted with workplace justice.
