gender discrimination case
against Wells Fargo Advisors
September 15, 2009. Moody & Warner joined class action law firms Sprenger + Lang and Mehri & Skalet and filed a class action gender discrimination case against Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC, formerly known as Wachovia Securities, LLC, and Wells Fargo & Co. claiming that a class of female financial advisors suffered systemic discrimination since at least early 2003. The case was filed on behalf of a class consisting of all female financial advisors employed anywhere in the United States at any time from March 17, 2003 to the present.
The suit claims that women financial advisors at Wells Fargo Advisors, and previously at Wachovia Securities, were subjected to discrimination on the basis of their sex in various terms and conditions of their employment, including signing bonuses, assignment of accounts, participation in company-approved “partnerships,” training, mentoring, and promotional opportunities, among other things. The filing of the lawsuit capped a multi-year investigation of the company conducted by Moody & Warner and their co-counsel. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and has been assigned to Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. Read the entire complaint here.
