San Francisco lawyer Harmeet Dhillon is representing former Google employee James Damore now. Her firm says it's investigating Google's employment practices.

Former Google employee James Damore has lawyered up. Damore was fired by the company earlier this month after he wrote a memo criticizing Google's diversity policies. Now he's represented by a high-level Republican party official: San Francisco lawyer Harmeet Dhillon. 

Dhillon's firm says it's investigating Google's employment practices. For more, Take Two spoke with Marisa Lagos, California politics and government reporter for KQED.
