Jackson & Campbell's Robert Rider Jr., a nonequity partner, concedes that he tapped then-fellow nonequity partner Elisa Eisenberg on the backside at a party, according to court papers. But in her civil suit, Eisenberg says an intoxicated Rider forcefully groped her and that the firm created a hostile work environment by refusing to fire Rider, which ultimately led to Eisenberg's resignation. She is seeking at least $1 million in compensatory damages and at least $3 million in punitive damages.
