Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has won its high-profile age discrimination battle against former partner Peter Bloxham, it was announced Wednesday.
The Central London Employment Tribunal ruled unanimously in favor of Freshfields over Bloxham’s claim regarding a change in the firm’s pension scheme. It found that Freshfields had been discriminatory on the grounds of age when the new pensions provisions were introduced, but that, crucially, it had been balanced in its approach when making the changes.
