Two former payroll staffers at Dechert have sued their former firm, claiming age and sex discrimination led to their firing in 2016.

Patricia Gindhart, 58, and Dana Dudek, 55, filed a complaint against Dechert on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In 2016, Gindhart was a senior payroll manager for Dechert and Dudek was a payroll manager working directly under Gindhart. They each worked at Dechert for 28 and 26 years, respectively.
