Francine Friedman Griesing, the former Greenberg Traurig shareholder suing the firm in New York for gender discrimination in a proposed $200 million class action, has asked a Pennsylvania federal court to dismiss the law firm’s motion to compel arbitration or, at the least, change the venue.
On the same day Griesing filed her proposed class action against Greenberg Traurig in the Southern District of New York, the law firm filed a petition in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania to compel arbitration, which it said was required under the firm’s partnership agreement.
