Allen & Overy (A&O) partner Mark Mansell was questioned Wednesday by members of Parliament about the advice he provided in a now-historic sexual harassment settlement involving disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein, as well as about the reputational impact of the firm’s involvement in the case.

Employment partner Mansell appeared before the Women and Equalities Committee Wednesday morning to testify in its inquiry into the use of nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) relating to allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace.
