A former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. manager has filed a £3.8 million ($5 million) sex-discrimination claim against the investment bank, alleging he was unfairly fired for taking six months of paternity leave.

Jonathan Reeves, who was a vice president in Goldman’s compliance department in London, claims he was laid off shortly after returning from the leave in 2022, according to filings prepared for a court hearing on Thursday.
