Working Solutions Law Firm Announces Action Against Major NY Financial Corporation for Discrimination in Employment and Employee Compensation

    NEW YORK, NY, March 01, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Working Solutions Law Firm, a team of employment attorneys at https://www.workingsolutionsnyc.com/, has announced a new action against Nomura Securities International, Inc. The case can be found online at the US District Court, Southern District of New York (https://www.nysd.uscourts.gov/). The case has also been reported in the press at https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/nomura-is-sued-by-former-researcher-over-alleged-gender-bias-2024-01-23/ among other websites.

"Financial services in New York, not just on Wall Street but in Midtown, can be a very tough and yet profitable career. That said, there is no excuse for different rules for men and women, nor for discrimination against women in employment or compensation," explained Brendan Sweeney, a Partner at the law firm.

Here is background on the case. Ms. Feng, a highly qualified Associate Quantitative Researcher with a Doctorate in Economics from the University of Illinois, joined Nomura's New York City office in August 2020. She faced gender-based challenges as the sole woman on the Equity Derivatives Quantitative Team (EDQ). Despite encountering dismissive behavior from management, her complaints led to temporary improvements. Her competence was recognized with a promotion to VP in April 2022, alongside a salary increase to $200,000.

However, persistent discrimination emerged as Nomura expanded its team. Despite her expertise, Ms. Feng faced unequal treatment compared to male colleagues. Issues worsened with the company's unresponsiveness to her concerns and unreasonable demands during required medical treatment. Despite efforts to address workplace discrimination, her termination in July 2023 heightened her emotional distress.
