Michael Zarocostas represented Tania Zarak, a former high-level Netflix manager who sued the streaming juggernaut for allegedly firing her for being pregnant and planning to go on maternity leave.
Zarak, 39, a Mexican-born film producer and married mother-of-two toddlers, with a third child on the way, filed a complaint against her former employer claiming wrongful termination, discrimination, and harassment.
According to Zarak's 35-page lawsuit first published by Deadline.com, she was hired as a manager in the International Originals division at Netflix in July 2018 and was fired within five months, just weeks after announcing her pregnancy.
