Whistleblower Retaliation
Katrina French* was a high performing logistics manager who had worked in her role for years. French was promoted multiple times, and was recognized as a star performer by both her direct reports and superiors.
A female colleague disclosed to French that she was experiencing gender-based discrimination by management.
French reported this to her manager.
French was eventually interviewed by HR, where she truthfully disclosed her experiences by the managerial committee.
Weeks later, French was fired due to ‘restructuring’, and the elimination of French’s role.
French was the only employee terminated due to the restructuring.
French Finds Madia Law
Weeks after her termination, French reached out to Madia Law. We took 15 depositions and gained key admissions from the top defense witnesses.
Just two weeks before the final hearing, the employer settled the case for $820,000 – 20x the initial severance it had offered French.
We commend French for her bravery and for speaking up when others feared to do so.
