A former associate filed suit against Howrey on Wednesday, alleging that the law firm routinely subjected her to discriminatory treatment based on her race. Kamisha Menns, a black woman born in Jamaica, alleges in her complaint that the Brussels office's managing partner told her that because she was the first black associate to work in that office, the office staff's treatment of her might be influenced by the fact that "they had never before been forced to be in a 'subordinate position' to a black person."
