Defended a Nonprofit Entity Against Claims of Retaliatory Discharge Brought by a Former Employee in a Federal Lawsuit

Amundsen Davis defended a nonprofit entity against claims of retaliatory discharge brought by a former employee in a federal lawsuit. The court granted our client’s motion to dismiss the claims and the Seventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal. The dismissal was based on our arguments that the former employee’s vague allegations of being that she was disciplined in violation of an unnamed federal law were insufficient to put the employer on notice that the employee had engaged in protected activity that could give rise to a claim of unlawful retaliation.
