Ellen Pao Asked to Pay Legal Cost $1m Legal Bill in Sexism Case



Ellen Pao, the woman who took a Silicon Valley firm, faces $1m legal bill in sexism case. According to Digital Marketing Agency, “Ms Pao was sacked from Kleiner Perkins - which has invested in a variety of successful technology firms, including Snapchat, Spotify, Uber, Twitter and Google - in 2012.”
Kleiner Perkins, Venture capital firm, stated, “the cost will be considered as an optional condition if former employee Ms Pao does not appeal against the jury's decision. Regarding this issue, Ms Pao's legal team is presently reviewing and considering the proposal.
After failing to convince jurors at the San Francisco Superior Court that her firing was due to discrimination, Ellen Pao currently faces a legal bill of around $973,000.
