Goldman Sachs agreed to pay $215 million to settle a class-action lawsuit that accused the bank of pay and advancement discrimination against female vice presidents and associates.
The bank and four female plaintiffs reached settlement, although the agreement still must be approved by the federal judge overseeing the case in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, the plaintiffs’ counsel at law firm Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein announced in a press release Tuesday. A jury trial had been scheduled to begin June 7.
