Congratulations to Cohen Milstein partner Jenny Yang, whose appointment as a commissioner to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was approved by Congress on April 25.

Yang is a partner at Cohen Milstein, where she worked along-side ERA to challenge sex discrimination against retail workers in Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores.

“Given Jenny’s long dedication to ensuring equal opportunity for all workers and her highly regarded legal skills, we are confident she will continue to serve the law and the country well in this new role,” said ERA Executive Director Noreen Farrell.
