By Aviyukta Adlakha

Eli Lilly & Co resolves a lawsuit by a former lobbyist who accused a high-ranking executive and another senior manager of engaging in sexual discrimination, harassment, and retaliation against women in its Washington, D.C., office, in March.

The suit was filed in federal court in Washington by in-house lobbyist Sonya Elling alleged that a Lilly senior vice president, Leigh Ann Pusey, repeatedly demeaned Elling and other women, which eventually forced Elling to resign from Lilly. After certain negotiations and discussions, she withdrew her case. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
