Ellen Pao Appealing Order to Pay Kleiner Perkins Trial Costs

Updated on

Former Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers junior partner Ellen Pao said in a court filing she’ll appeal an order to pay $276,000 of the venture capital firm’s trial expenses after losing her sex-discrimination case against it.

Kleiner was awarded less than a third of the $972,814 it sought to cover its trial costs. Pao argued she should pay nothing because it would send the wrong message to employees trying to fight bias at the workplace.
