A former Flaster Greenberg associate has sued the firm, alleging she was fired soon after she notified the firm’s human resources department that the shareholder she was working under was creating a hostile work environment.

In the complaint filed in Jones v. Flaster Greenberg in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas on Tuesday, Taffie Jones, a former associate in the intellectual property practice of Flaster Greenberg’s Philadelphia office, said that when she was offered a job with the firm early last year, she was promised that she would be mentored by shareholder and IP department chair Lynda L. Calderone.
