SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 6 – Goldman Sachs was sued
in 2010 for unequal pay to
women. Fully a decade later on
May 6, 2020 the lawyers were
bickering about class
counsel's communications to
women at Goldman.
It was a
telephone proceeding before
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Robert W.
Lehrburger and Inner City
Press covered it.
Sullivan
& Cromwell, representing
Goldman, had argued that
"co-lead counsel's
unauthorized communications
circumvent the Order, which
thrice direct the parties to
'meet and confer and submit to
the Court a proposed form and
method of notice' to Equity
Award recipients."
Before Judge Lehrburger they
sniped - the Judge's word - at
each other, until plaintiffs'
counsel agreed communications
could be shown in advance to
the Judge, in camera - without
Goldman and its counsel seeing
or pre-approving them.
Ten
years is a long time. A
decision is
expected. The case
is Chen-Oster, et al. v.
Goldman Sachs & Co., et
al, 10-cv-6950 (Torres /
Lehrburger).
