Temporary Lawyer Sues Wilmer for Defamation
A lawyer who was fired from a temporary legal staffing company has filed
a defamation suit against Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr. James
Zhang was working at Wilmer's D.C. office as a lawyer with Special
Counsel when one of Wilmer's attorneys asked him if he was downloading
firm documents onto his flash drive. Zhang said he was not but alleges
that he was let go by Special Counsel after someone informed the company
about the "baseless suspicion" that he had stolen documents.
