The Recorder (November 10, 2004)

Abercrombie & Fitch has agreed to settle a trio of employment discrimination suits for nearly $50 million, the firm disclosed Tuesday in SEC filings. The proposed settlement provides a victory for two San Francisco firms. Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein and Minami Tamaki LLP had brought two of the suits accusing the Ohio-based retailer of favoring white men in its branding and hiring.
