A federal judge in Washington, D.C., laid out a series of deadlines Tuesday for further proceedings in a partner’s gender bias lawsuit against Proskauer Rose and also directed the two sides into a mediation process to see if they might reach a settlement.
In a scheduling order related to discovery and other deadlines, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the District of Columbia ordered a mediation between Proskauer and the Jane Doe plaintiff, a Washington-based partner at the firm who has accused Proskauer of discrimination in a $50 million lawsuit.
