We specialize in representing businesses in employment litigation and consultation. Discrimination charges brought by employees can expose businesses to substantial financial risk. Businesses must take prompt action in order to minimize such risks. Sexual harassment cases have sparked much attention and controversy in this decade. Women prevailing in such cases have won substantial verdicts.
Businesses are justifiably concerned when such allegations are made, even if they are false.
However, as difficult or threatening as these allegations may appear, as with any other employee claim, being prepared with the right strategy can minimize the risk to your business. Losing their job is a traumatic experience for most people. Federal and State agencies have the authority to enforce safety and environmental rules in the workplace. These agencies enforce their regulations primarily through unannounced inspections. Today most businesses have the luxury of a union-free work force.
