The lawyer representing a former JPMorgan Chase banker has resigned just before the client’s initial court appearance.
Chirayu Rana will now temporarily represent himself in a sexual-harassment lawsuit filed against a former colleague.
The sudden departure of legal counsel adds a new layer of complexity to the case.
Rana’s former attorney did not provide a public reason for the resignation.
The lawsuit accuses Rana of sexual harassment during his time at the bank.
JPMorgan Chase has not commented on the ongoing legal proceedings.
Rana’s first court appearance is scheduled to proceed without formal representation.
Legal experts note that self-representation can be challenging in civil litigation.
The case continues to draw attention from the financial and legal communities.
