In a sensational case that has reportedly “grabbed the attention of the legal profession,” a law firm partner accused of sexual harassment has filed a counterclaim accusing the junior lawyer suing him of defamation.
The partner’s law firm, Faruqi & Faruqi, is well known for its work on executive compensation issues. The New York Times’ Dealbook details both the male partner’s version of events and the female associate’s side of the story.
