Brown's lawsuit claims that his dismissal stemmed from his veteran status and complaints about unequal pay, alleging McCarter & English used his social media post as a facade for discriminatory practices.
The suit states that no other protected class faced such treatment within the firm, which heavily promoted Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion but ignored the challenges faced by veterans, branding the firm's DEI initiatives as inadequate.
Brown alleged he was excluded from important events like the diversity retreat and faced backlash for pointing out a lack of recognition for the anniversary of 9/11, highlighting a disconnect in the firm's DEI policies.
In his LinkedIn post, Brown addressed the issue of veterans being underpaid and marginalized in the legal workplace, noting the repercussions of speaking up about inequalities.
