Clyde & Co., an international law firm, is attempting to move to arbitration a defamation lawsuit brought against the firm and others by a former counsel, arguing Clyde's defense includes evidence of the counsel's conduct that is "of a highly sensitive and often disagreeable nature."
"Arbitration of this matter will protect the privacy of the parties and their potential witnesses," Clyde's attorneys at Fox Rothschild said in court papers. "The defense to Plaintiff's claims will include documentary and other evidence" of the attorney's conduct toward female employees.
