Former UBS Intern Files $5M Suit For Sexual Harassment

A former advisor to UBS hired Samantha Lambui as an assistant, then began offering expensive shoes and purses in exchange for sex, ultimately threatening to end the her internship if she declined his advances. James C. Collins, the alleged harasser, worked for UBS from April 2012 to August 2013, and Lambui claims the harassment began shortly after she was hired in early 2013 and continued through mid-June 2013, when UBS informed her that the internship was ending. The lawsuit claims that the company dismissed Lambui’s claims when she complained.
