Santa Clara County Superior Court
CPM is counsel in a consolidated shareholder derivative action, alleging that Alphabet’s management failed to monitor and prevent sexual harassment of employees by top Google executives and, instead, approved lucrative compensation to Google executives and then allowed them to quietly “resign” after they were credibly accused of sexual harassment and other misconduct. Even after public outrage when the conduct was disclosed and the walkout of nearly 20,000 Google employees, Alphabet failed to seek recourse. The derivative action seeks to reform Alphabet’s governance.
