Case Summary

On January 17, 2002, a class action suit was brought in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e) et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., and the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d) et seq. Plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, were former financial advisors and financial advisor applicants of Defendant American Express Financial Advisors, Inc. and its affilia…

On January 17, 2002, a class action suit was brought in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000(e) et seq., the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et seq., and the Equal Pay Act of 1963, 29 U.S.C. § 206(d) et seq. Plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, were former financial advisors and financial advisor applicants of Defendant American Express Financial Advisors, Inc. and its affiliates ("Amex"); they also represented a class of women similarly situated. Plaintiffs contended that Amex systematically denied women, especially those over the age of forty, equal employment opportunities with respect to hiring financial advisors and promoting them to other more prestigious positions. Plaintiffs sought both injunctive relief and damages.

Specifically, Plaintiffs claimed that the discriminatory practices stemmed from a stereotype pervasive within Amex that only young males could be successful in the financial planning business. This attitude was displayed by Amex in several ways: its failure to hire qualified females as financial advisors; assigning to female financial advisors less favorable lucrative accounts and valuable leads; and providing them less favorable mentoring and training opportunities compared to their male counterparts. For those females in financial advisor positions, this environment often resulted in their failure to meet quotas and subsequent discharge. Further, many of the advisors who complained of the discrimination were allegedly retaliated against with termination.

On January 23, 2002, an extensive consent decree was agreed upon between the parties, who had been negotiating for two years even prior to the filing of the complaint. The decree delineated two classes: (1) All women employed by Amex as financial advisors at any time after December 8, 1998, and (2) All women who applied to work for Amex with and who were rejected for positions as financial advisors at any time after December 8, 1998. The decree granted injunctive relief for both classes, as well as monetary relief for first class. As part of the injunctive relief, Amex was required to employ a "Field Diversity Officer" to enforce the provisions of the decree, as well as to make recommendations on diversity practices. Furthermore, Amex was to conduct annual diversity training for both its financial advisors and employee leaders. The decree also mandated Amex create guidelines addressing diversity for hiring, leads and marketing opportunities, account assignments, promotions, mentoring, and terminations. In regards to monetary relief, Amex was to pay $31 million into a settlement fund. This fund included compensation for named Plaintiffs, as well as for class claimants that applied for an award. The decree included the appointment of a special master to oversee future proceedings, and it was to remain in effect for a period of four years after its court approval.

The District Court (Judge Henry H. Kennedy) preliminarily approved the decree as written on March 20, 2002. The court also preliminarily approved the classes, pending their notification by mail and publication.

On June 16, 2002, the District Court (Judge Kennedy) officially approved the consent decree and certified the classes.

This did not end the litigation, as over several years multiple parties made motions to enforce the decree for the disbursement of funds.

In 2020, after a long period of inactivity, a series of motions were filed by plaintiff Susan Seltzer, including a motion to seal confidential documents. Seltzer also filed motions to proceed *pro se* and to remove class counsel. In addition, Seltzer filed motions to reopen the case and for contempt with sanctions. American Express filed responses to these motions. The case was reassigned to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in November 2020, and later to Judge Jia M. Cobb in November 2021. Judge Cobb ultimately denied Seltzer’s motions in January 2022, stating that the court's jurisdiction to enforce the consent decree had expired in 2006, four years after the decree was approved in 2002.

Also in January 2022, the court granted a motion to withdraw Ahna M. Thoresen as counsel for the defendants. Additionally, the court sealed documents containing personal information about Seltzer in February 2022.

The case remains closed, with the court having determined it lacks jurisdiction to enforce the consent decree.
