Employment Discrimination
We help victims of sexual harassment, wage theft, and employment discrimination seek justice.
Too many employers treat certain workers and job candidates unfairly simply because of their race, sex, ethnicity, religion, disability, pregnancy, gender identity or expression, or sexual orientation. Others illegally fail to pay employees required minimum wages, overtime, or other compensation, depriving working people of their hard-earned pay. If you have been treated unfairly or discriminated against at work, we can help you navigate your situation and get you the result you need. We have helped to recover millions of dollars in compensation for employees who were mistreated. Our extensive work in this includes:
Obtaining substantial settlements for people who have been sexually harassed and demeaned at work, including in litigation, arbitration, and in pre-litigation negotiations.
Filing pregnancy discrimination complaints against employers for firing or refusing to hire or promote new or expecting parents, and for refusing to provide accommodations for pregnant workers.
Securing significant settlements for employees who were subjected to degrading racial comments and inhumane work conditions on account of their race.
Representing employees facing unfair or retaliatory internal investigations at their workplaces.
Representing employees in a class action against a company that illegally misclassified them as independent contractors and refused to pay overtime premiums required by law.
Advising employees who are separating from their employers, whether by choice, termination, or lay-offs.
Reviewing and negotiating employment agreements, separation and severance agreements, arbitration agreements, non-compete or non-solicitation agreements, and other contracts that arise in the workplace.
