Our New York employment law attorneys have substantial experience in obtaining significant monetary awards on behalf of victims of employment discrimination and/or sexual harassment.
Sexual Harassment is a form of employment discrimination that violates United States federal law and, in many cases, state and local law. Sexual harassment can involve direct requests for sexual favors, unwelcome sexual advances and general improper conduct in the workplace, including but not limited to verbal or physical contact of a sexual nature. Employers are required to take steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and they are required to take appropriate action to remedy sexual harassment once it is reported or discovered. An employee who reports sexual harassment is legally protected against retaliation from her employer.
It is imperative that victims of sexual harassment and other forms of employment discrimination understand their rights and options under the law. In many cases, the perpetrator of sexual harassment is in a position of authority over his victim. It is common for the victim of sexual harassment to feel isolated and helpless, particularly when a high-level corporate executive is sexually harassing them. At Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates, LLP we work tirelessly with our clients to help them understand that they are not helpless and that the laws prohibiting sexual harassment apply to everyone, including the highest ranking corporate executives.
Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates, LLP has successfully guided victims of employment discrimination through proceedings before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and in both federal and state courts. In many cases, Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates, LLP has obtained significant out of court settlements on behalf of victims of sexual harassment and other forms of employment discrimination, including racial discrimination, age discrimination, disability related discrimination (Americans with Disabilities Act claims) and whistle blower retaliation claims.
In addition to providing representation to the victims of employment discrimination and/or sexual harassment, Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates, LLP has substantial experience in the drafting and reviewing of employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, severance agreements and no-compete agreements.
