Weber Gallagher Simpson Stapleton Fires & Newby has been sued by its former chief marketing officer, who alleges that the firm fired her after she raised concerns about racial inequity.

Ellen Ragone filed her suit July 2 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, also raising age discrimination claims. Ragone, who is white, worked at the Philadelphia-based midsize law firm from 2012 until 2020, when she was 58.
