André M. Romain is seeking 10 million euros ($11 million) from Natixis SA for what he says is a finance-industry career ruined by the French bank’s management.

The claim is one of several complaints and lawsuits lodged by the 45-year-old former employee of Natixis’s U.S. unit alleging mismanagement and misconduct by the bank. The damages he’s asking for at the Paris employment tribunal emerged as part of a parallel access-to-documents case he had filed, where French judges ruled against his request as they questioned his motives.
