Overview

• Weller has filed a discrimination claim against Harris and Trotter, saying they ended a more than 30-year relationship after his public comments on Gaza.
• According to the legal letter, a partner messaged that the firm was offended by his assertions of Israeli genocide and, citing its Jewish roots and many Jewish partners, would not work with him.
• His lawyers say the firm unlawfully discriminated against protected philosophical beliefs, including that Israel is committing genocide and that Palestine should be recognised as a nation state.
• Weller states any damages would be donated to humanitarian relief efforts in Gaza.
• His lawyer says the case reflects a wider pattern of professional consequences for pro-Palestinian speech, and the firm has been asked for comment without a public response to date.
