Filed pregnancy discrimination lawsuit against Nicole Miller

Mr. Wigdor represented Wendy Simchi-Levi in a pregnancy discrimination lawsuit against renowned fashion designer Nicole Miller and her eponymous retail clothing company. As alleged, despite her glowing reviews, when Ms. Simchi-Levi disclosed her pregnancy to Ms. Miller, she became the target of an ongoing campaign of harassment and discrimination intended to discourage her from returning to work after birth. The lawsuit further alleges that Ms. Miller eventually terminated Ms. Simchi-Levi just weeks after giving birth, a clear indication that the company did not want to employ a working mother.
