The Costs of Sexual Harassment

Financial Losses

Martin Greenstein, the ex-trademark attorney at the San Francisco firm of Baker and McKenzie, made over $500,000 yearly as a partner in the firm. In 1991 a legal secretary who had worked for him only three weeks brought suit against Greenstein and the firm Baker and McKenzie for sexual harassment.

The jury awarded the secretary $7 million in punitive damages from Baker and McKenzie. The judge subsequently reduced the award to $3.5 million from Baker and McKenzie and to about $225,000 from Greenstein.

After a history of sexual harassment allegations in both the Chicago and Palo Alto offices of Baker and McKenzie, Greenstein was terminated in 1993.
