On the same day that a female former executive director at Bramshill Investments launched a gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against the company, the Wall Street investment firm fired back with a misappropriation-of-trade-secrets suit lodged against her in a different federal court.

Now, former Bramshill executive director Ashley Pullen, who claims she was unfairly labeled as “aggressive” by the company and fired after she complained about gender inequities in work distribution, has levied a new complaint against Bramshill that expands on her previous one and states that Bramshill’s same-day lawsuit—on Sept. 24—was simply a “retaliatory complaint alleging six spurious causes of action against Ms. Pullen.”
