EEOC Finds Sex Discrimination at David Boies� Law Firm

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, investigating a case that was settled out of court more than a year ago, has found that David Boies' law firm discriminated against women in wages and working conditions.

"Female employees were subjected to disparate treatment in compensation, terms, conditions and privileges of employment," said Spencer Lewis Jr., New York district director of the EEOC, in an opinion dated Thursday and made public Monday.

Lewis also found that Boies, Schiller & Flexner maintained a two-tier system of compensation -- one for lawyers on the partnership track, one for the others -- "which is not applied uniformly, resulting in discrimination against a class of female associate attorneys."
