Strong Legal Protection in Employment Law Matters

• Employment Discrimination: At Ziegler, Ziegler & Associates LLP, we have successfully guided victims of employment discrimination through proceedings before the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and in state and federal courts. Employee discrimination involves discrimination based on age, race, religion, sex, disability or membership in a constitutionally protected class.
• 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 improper conduct in the workplace. Employers are required to take steps to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace and 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.
• Whistleblower Retaliation: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act provides protection for employees who "blow the whistle" on their employer's wrongdoings. As a result, if you report your employer for violating SEC rules or regulations or committing other criminal acts, your employer cannot lawfully retaliate against you and, in many circumstances, you are entitled to a bounty for reporting such wrongdoing and violations.

In addition to providing representation to the victims of employment discrimination, sexual harassment and whistleblower retaliation, our attorneys also have substantial experience drafting and reviewing employment agreements, confidentiality agreements, severance agreements and non-compete agreements.
