Dentons has reached a settlement with a former real estate partner who claims he was forced to resign from the law firm and accused the firm’s Australian chair of sharing an anti-vaccine email.
A former Dentons property partner claims he lost the opportunity for promotion when he was forced to resign, but the firm argues his own misconduct put paid to his prospects of joining the equity ranks.
Dentons and Australian chair Doug Stipanicev have hit back at allegations by a former property partner that they breached workplace laws, saying the partner is barred from bringing his case.
A judge on Thursday queried counsel for Dentons on the law firm’s defence to claims by an ex-partner that Australian chair and CEO Doug Stipanicev initiated a search for evidence of misconduct.
