The new attorneys representing former ESPN anchor and legal analyst Adrienne Lawrence in her federal sexual harassment lawsuit against the sports network hope to make the case a class action lawsuit.

In a Friday interview with the Connecticut Law Tribune, Wigdor LLP partners Michael Willemin and Jeanne Christensen said there are many past and current female employees of the Bristol-based network who were allegedly sexually harassed like Lawrence. The attorneys said they will seek class action status as soon as they are officially admitted on the case by a judge. That procedural matter, Christensen said, should be done soon.

“We are not going to delay. Once we are admitted into the case (pro hac vice) and can appear, our intention is to 100 percent proceed with the case on a class basis,” Willemin said. “ESPN has promoted a systematic culture and policy and practice to permit males in a position of power to discriminate against women.”

Willemin, whose firm took over the case from Lachtman Cohen and Yankwitt LLP Aug. 15, said the class would take into consideration the statute of limitations period. “Depending on what the causes of action are, it (statute of limitations) can be anywhere from three to four years.” Willemin would not say how many women would be listed in the class, but said, “it will be a significant number.”
