Chen-Oster Et Al V. Goldman, Sachs & Co. Llc. Et Al
This legal summary pertains to a lawsuit filed by a group of female employees of Goldman Sachs against the company for employment discrimination. The plaintiffs allege that certain processes within the company have resulted in discriminatory impact and treatment. The lawsuit is related to a complaint made by a former female partner that was widely reported in 2022. The plaintiffs requested that the Court order Goldman Sachs to produce the Complaint and additional complaint files, provide a signed declaration when production is complete, and produce CEO David Solomon for a deposition. However, the Court denied the plaintiffs' requested relief, finding that Goldman Sachs was not obligated to produce the Complaint and there was no basis for sanctions. The Court also found that the plaintiffs had not provided evidence to show that Mr. Solomon had knowledge of the discriminatory impact caused by the challenged processes. While the Court acknowledged the reprehensible discriminatory conduct alleged in the lawsuit and the complaint, it was guided by legal principles in making its decision.
