Dec. 9, 2024 – Bloomberg published an in-depth article today profiling Kotchen & Low’s recent trial victory in which a jury unanimously concluded that Cognizant Technology Solutions intentionally discriminated against a class of non-Indians and non-South Asians placed in non-productive status (“the bench”) and fired. The jury also found that Cognizant should have to pay punitive damages.
The class consists of 2,347 individuals employed by Cognizant between September 18, 2013 and October 27, 2022, and the article quotes Kotchen & Low’s statement that we anticipate seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for these class members in the next phase of the case.
As a reminder to class members, they should contact Kotchen & Low with any additional questions at [email protected]. Otherwise, Kotchen & Low will be in touch regarding the damages phase of the case.
