Hyundai’s Innocean has placed chief creative officer Eric Springer on leave less than a week after Adweek broke the news of a lawsuit accusing him and the agency of sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation and wrongful termination.

The agency has reportedly brought in a third-party consultant to conduct an investigation.

“As announced to employees on Friday, Eric Springer, Innocean USA’s chief creative officer, has been put on a leave of absence while an ongoing investigation is conducted into the allegations made in a lawsuit by a former freelance employee,” an agency spokesperson said a statement.
