If you're in the US Ad Biz, a law degree might come in handy!

Yet another ugly "Ad Biz Harassment" case is grinding its way through the legal system with the news that a judge in New York today rejected Dentsu's motion for a summary judgment in the case of Steve Biegel v. Dentsu Holdings.

The ruling, which had been expected, allows Biegel's lawsuit against the agency to proceed, though no date has been set for further court appearances. In October, Biegel sued Dentsu where he had worked as a creative director, for sexual harassment. In January Dentsu in court papers claimed Biegel signed a form when he was hired acknowledging the company's policy against sexual harassment and only complained about alleged harassment one-and-a-half years after the incidents occurred.

And it only seems like a year ago when Julie Roehm was suing Wal-Mart because they accused her of getting up to all kinds of shenanigans with Draft/FCB. And Steve Dworin has an on-going suit against Donny Deutsch. Most of these cases drag on, then eventually get settled out of court... Unless you're as filthy rich as Sir Martin, then you can afford to kick the shit out of any Italian underling that dares to cross your path!
