Historic $310 Million Settlement in Google Shareholder Derivative Lawsuit Announced
On Friday, September 25, 2020, Bottini & Bottini announced a historic $310 million settlement to resolve litigation related to sexual harassment and misconduct. The settlement, which provides for significant changes to company policy and commits Alphabet to spend $310 million on diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, is the largest and most holistic settlement in a shareholder derivative case stemming from sexual misconduct or harassment.
“This historic settlement, being announced on a day when the Hon. Ruth Bader Ginsberg is lying in State, will help protect female workers at Google and throughout Silicon Valley for years to come,” said Frank A. Bottini, Co-Lead Counsel for the Plaintiffs.
