Employment Litigation

Call (212) 601-2728

​Protecting Your Employment Rights

Our lawyers have represented clients in some of the largest and most important employment cases, including an $80 million settlement in a discrimination class action.  We have won millions of dollars for healthcare professionals, employees of large corporations, live-in nannies, and restaurant workers.

Whether we are representing one person in an individual case, or thousands in a class action, we are dedicated to giving you the same high-quality legal representation.​


​Recover Damages and Protect Your Career

Clients come to us because they have been subjected to sexual harassment or discrimination, have not been paid all their wages, have been wrongfully terminated, or have suffered retaliation for reporting illegal or dangerous activity at their employer.

If you are in a similar situation, then you probably have a lot of questions.
  • How can I assert a claim for compensatory and punitive damages?
  • What evidence do I need to prove my case?
  • What other remedies are available to me?
  • How can I protect my reputation and career?​

We have the answers you need.  Our lawyers have helped clients negotiate severance packages.  We have helped them win millions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.  If you have a strong case, we will represent you on a contingency fee basis.  That means you will not owe us any legal fees unless you win.

The process begins with a conversation with one of our experienced labor and employment lawyers.

Sexual Harassment

Fight Back Against Sexual Harassment and Hostile Work Environments
Have You Been Subjected to Sexual Harassment?
​Thanks to the “me too” movement, laws have been changed to make it easier to prove sexual harassment.  Judges and juries are more likely to believe you.  They are also more likely to award compensatory and punitive damages.

​For more than 30 years, our lawyers have been helping people protect themselves from sexual harassment and hostile work environments.  We have helped clients resolve difficult situations at work, negotiate settlements and severance packages, and win millions of dollars in compensatory and punitive damages.

Unpaid Wages & Overtime

Getting Paid: How to Recover Unpaid Wages and Overtime
​Are You Owed Compensation by Your Employer?
State and federal laws guarantee your right to be paid for all of the hours you work.  Unfortunately, employers often attempt to violate these laws as a cost-cutting measure.
​
If your employer is withholding your wages, not paying for all the hours you worked, or failing to pay the legally required overtime, taking legal action can protect your right to fair payment.  Our lawyers represent doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other healthcare professionals and employees to get them paid the compensation they have earned.

Employment Discrimination

The New Yorker's Guide to Wrongful Termination
Were You Fired Because of Discrimination?
Discrimination is illegal.  New York and federal laws prohibit discrimination on the basis of characteristics that do not affect your work performance.  If you have been fired because of discrimination, you may be entitled to compensatory and punitive damages, reinstatement to your job, and other remedies.

Our lawyers can help you if you've been fired because of your age, sex, pregnancy, race, religion, or another illegal reason.

Family & Medical Leave Rights

Your Rights to Family and Medical Leave in New York
Have You Been Denied Family or Medical Leave?
The Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) was passed to give employees a way to take job-protected leave to attend to their own health issues or caretaking obligations for family members. 

New York has its own family and medical leave laws that provide for paid leave.  If you have been denied a family or medical leave, or if you have been fired or retaliated against for requesting such a leave, you may be entitled to compensation, reinstatement to your job, and other remedies.

Call us at (212) 601-2728 to learn how we can help you.
