DLA Piper LLP argues that Anisha Mehta was terminated for 'a series of increasingly catastrophic blunders' and seeks dismissal of her pregnancy bias and retaliation claims.
Mehta notes that the partner who fired her encouraged her to take full advantage of her maternity leave, indicating a conflicting message regarding her performance.
Despite being a seventh-year associate, DLA Piper describes Mehta’s work as 'sloppy', citing typos and other errors, but questions the severity of these issues.
This incident reflects DLA Piper's history of questionable employee decisions, having recently reduced parental leave benefits by six weeks without clear justification.
