Field Fisher Waterhouse has escaped a potentially embarrassing public hearing after a harassment claim brought by one of its partners was resolved this week. The claim, brought by head of trademark and brand protection John Olsen, saw the firm accused of harassment and age discrimination, with Olsen alleging he had been subjected to a "campaign of harassment and intimidation" in recent years. The case had been accepted by the Central London Employment Tribunal, with the parties scheduled to attend a case management hearing on Monday (10 November). However, the parties are now understood to have reached a settlement. It is believed Olsen will continue his role at Field Fisher.
