Weeks after Louis Lehot was accused of sexual assault, another woman has told the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that the former DLA Piper partner bullied her, and that the firm retaliated against her when she complained.
The human resources manager said she was fired this year after raising concerns about Lehot’s behavior with another senior partner. In a letter to the commission from her lawyer, the woman said the dismissal came weeks after she told Sang Kim, one of the top lawyers at the firm, that she was “physically afraid” to be alone with Lehot. She also said other women came to her saying they feared him.
