Ex-McKinsey partner sues firm, claims he was made opioids 'scapegoat'
- A former McKinsey & Co partner sued the global consulting firm on Friday and accused it of defaming him and making him a "scapegoat" to distract attention from its work advising OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and other manufacturers of opioid pain medications.
Those partners included Ghatak, who had been a senior partner and McKinsey's global head of medical affairs. In his lawsuit, Ghatak alleged that McKinsey and its global managing partner, Bob Sternfels, lied to the U.S. Congress and the public about his role deleting emails. The lawsuit seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages from McKinsey and Sternfels, who was also named as a defendant."We terminated him for serious violations of our professional standards," the McKinsey spokesperson said. "We fully stand by our decision to terminate Dr. Ghatak and by our public statements on the matter.
