After only a month of operations, equity partners at employment law startup Barber Ranen have changed names and elected new leaders after namesake partners John Barber and Jeffrey Ranen resigned Monday following the release of emails showing their use of racist and misogynistic language to refer to colleagues.
Lawyers who once practiced under the name Barber Ranen now work at Daugherty Lordan, named for founding partner Melissa Daugherty and San Francisco managing partner Joe Lordan, a spokesperson for the firm said Wednesday morning.
