Employment Candidate Files Suit Against Recruiting Agency Major, Lindsey and Africa

Candidate alleges Allegis Group subsidiary dumped her after she filed discrimination claim against her former employer

In a blistering 21-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle district of Maryland (attached below), Attorney Gita Sankano has accused legal recruiting giant Major, Lindsey and Africa ("MLA") of dropping its representation of her because she filed a race discrimination lawsuit against her former employer, law firm Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders, LLP. The lawsuit is brought under Section 1981 of the U.S. Code which prohibits, among other things, retaliation against individuals who file race discrimination claims.
