A New Jersey attorney has sued Marshall Dennehey Warner Coleman & Goggin, alleging it discriminated against her when it absorbed the firm where she formerly worked but did not take her aboard.
The attorney, Sophia Tyris, who has practiced in Pennsylvania and New Jersey since 2014, sued Marshall Dennehey and her former firm, New Jersey-based Delany Law, in Burlington County, New Jersey, late last month. The suit alleges the firms discriminated against her because she was pregnant at the time of the merger and was seeking maternity leave.
