Ex-TCW Manager, NYC Mayoral Candidate Urges Revival of Sexual Harassment Case By Jonathan Stempel and Jessica DiNapoli | May 6, 2021
NEW YORK A lawyer for a former TCW Group Inc fund manager who recently ran for New York City mayor urged an appeals court to restore the manager’s sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit against her former employer.
Sara Tirschwell had sued TCW, its chief executive, and former alternative products chief Jess Ravich for more than $30 million in January 2018. It was considered Wall Street’s first major case of the #MeToo era.
In arguments before New York state’s Appellate Division in Manhattan, Tirschwell’s lawyer Steven Storch said a lower court judge wrongly “took over the province of the jury” last June by dismissing much of the case, including a punitive damages claim.
