Roberta Kaplan, a prominent lawyer best known for ending the ban on gay marriage and her advocacy work for sexual assault victims, is leaving the law firm she formed in 2017.
Kaplan's exit from Kaplan Hecker & Fink comes following reports to the New York Times from those who worked with her that she mistreated lawyers and cultivated an unprofessional office culture.
Her lawyers denied those allegations and said Kaplan and her firm took allegations of workplace misconduct seriously.
"There is nothing more unremarkable than trial lawyers using colorful language, criticizing their peers and representing diverse clients with no expectation of ideological purity," Kaplan's lawyers told the outlet.
Kaplan was removed by colleagues from her firm's management committee.
The matter led to Kaplan to resign as chairwoman of the Time's Up board.
Kaplan's legal assistance for Cuomo became known months later thanks to a report released by the state attorney general.
