Shareholder Ari Wilkenfeld defeats dismissal in transgender discrimination lawsuit against Amazon

Shareholder Ari Wilkenfeld is representing an employee in a transgender discrimination lawsuit against Amazon.  The Advocate reported on Ari’s success in defeating Amazon’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia:
