Scandal: Firm allegedly fires summer associates after drunken lesbian kiss -- UPDATED

Filed under: Law

DSC00494.JPG
According to abovethelaw.com, two female summer associates at Minneapolis firm Lindquist & Vennum were fired last week after drunkenly kissing each other at a post-work function.


The legal gossip blog says it has a half dozen sources confirming the incident and subsequent firing.

We have little to add to this story at present, other than to say we've confirmed that while there used to be 10 summer associates at the firm, there are now eight. Once we have comment from folks at the firm, assuming they return our calls, we will let you know what we know.

UPDATE after the jump:

Nancy Vollertsen, a partner at Lindquist & Vennum, returned our call. Here's what she had to say:

"We have a great summer program and we don’t make employment decisions on a discriminatory basis."

Beyond that, she declined to either confirm or deny what has been written about the alleged firings, citing the privacy of the employees.
