A white San Francisco resident has sued Accenture PLC and Accenture LLP in Connecticut, claiming the global management consulting and professional services company discriminates against non-Asians.

In the prospective class action employment discrimination lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District for Connecticut, Matthew Walker alleges discrimination is rampant at the company, which has global headquarters in Ireland, 459,000 employees worldwide and about 51,800 throughout various locations in the United States, including an office in Hartford.
