Greenberg Traurig and Francine Griesing, the former shareholder who sued the firm in a proposed $200 million gender-discrimination class action last year, have agreed to enter mediation in an attempt to resolve their claims, the parties told a Philadelphia federal judge on Feb. 27.
A joint motion to stay the case for 70 days through May 6 was filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania in matter Greenberg Traurig v. Griesing, 12-cv-06718. That case was filed by Greenberg Traurig around the same time Griesing filed her proposed class action complaint, Griesing v. Greenberg Traurig, 12-cv-08734, in the Southern District of New York.
