: Slaw.caThe Jaime Laskis Discrimination Suit
By Omar Ha-Redeye
The Toronto Star is running a front-page story today about Jaime Laskis, a former associate at the New York offices of Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt, alleging discrimination. The Statement of Claim, filed in the District Court of New York by Liddle & Robinson LLP, can be viewed here.
Laskis complained about the allegedly discriminatory behaviour, and the individual responsible was eventually removed from the position of Legal Professional Committee (LPC) representative, and internal review committee within the firm. However, Laskis claims that she continued to be underpaid and treated unfairly even after this removal.
She was eventually terminated in 2009.
In searching for a new position in New York, she claims that individuals from Osler interfered with her job search by commenting negatively about her to a partner in another firm.
The basis of her claim is sex discrimination and retaliation in violation of Title VII, New York States Human Rights Law and New York City Human Rights Law.
