Freshfields' Pension Plan Sparks Age Discrimination Claim
A former Freshfields partner is claiming that the firm's pension plan discriminated against him on the basis of age. The dispute, being heard in a London employment tribunal, has laid bare Freshfields' recent reform of its unfunded pension scheme. It's one of the first cases brought under age discrimination laws that came into force in the United Kingdom last October. The case has also focused on Freshfields' recent culling of some equity partners and its introduction of nonequity or fixed-share partners.
