A former Polsinelli corporate lawyer has alleged that she was sexually harassed by two senior firm shareholders and that when she reported the misconduct, Polsinelli “retaliated” by terminating her employment.

She filed suit last Friday in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, seeking $20 million.
