Crowell & Moring has filed an answer in the age discrimination suit filed against the firm by a former employee in July. Mona Saunders, a 54 year old former employee, alleged that Crowell fired her after 18 years at the firm because of her age. Saunders alleges $300,000 in damages.
In the firm's answer (.pdf), filed on Aug. 27 by Arent Fox partner Michael Stevens, Crowell says Saunders was fired for failing to "perform her job in a satisfactory manner" and not because of her age. The answer alleges that Crowell had "legitimate, lawful, non-retaliatory and non-discriminatory reasons for all of its actions" with respect to Saudners, as she was an at-will employee.
The answer has been dubbed "boilerplate" by many speculators.
