Google’s parent company Alphabet is facing legal action over the way it allegedly handled sexual misconduct claims against two senior managers.
The legal action appears to have been prompted by the way that Google handled misconduct claims made against former Android boss Andy Rubin and former search head Amit Singhal.
Both men are believed to have received large pay-offs after being investigated over the claims. Neither now works for Google.
Both Mr Rubin and Mr Singhal have denied the allegations.
Separately two lawsuits have been filed by long-term shareholders which accuse Alphabet’s board of being involved in attempts to cover up the claims.
Both legal claims want Alphabet to do a better job of uncovering and responding to misconduct.
Google declined to comment on the lawsuits or whether it will respond.
