Case results
$10,500,000 RACE AND AGE DISCRIMINATION
Discrimination
In a class action against Ford Motor Company, we challenged Ford Motor Company's employee evaluation system alleging it was designed to target certain employees based on race, gender, and age, with those employees ultimately receiving poor evaluations, resulting in termination. Six months after the lawsuit was filed, Ford eliminated the evaluation system and eventually settled with our clients for $10,500,000.
