Wigdor LLP represented Tarale Wulff, a model and former cocktail waitress who testified at the Harvey Weinstein criminal trial.
We are more than five years into the #MeToo movement, which gave a long-overdue voice to survivors of sexual harassment and sexual violence. The continued focus on #MeToo demonstrates that sexual harassment and sexual violence remains a large-scale problem that hurts victims regardless of their education, career level or income.
Wigdor LLP has been at the forefront of the #MeToo movement, and our attorneys have represented victims in many high-profile sexual harassment and sexual assault cases.
Our law firm also advocates on behalf of numerous victims whose claims have remained confidential. The cases we take on have defined sexual assault and sexual harassment law. We have helped achieve justice and hold wrongdoers accountable for their actions. Our lawyers are experienced, tenacious and compassionate in our representation.
Wigdor has successfully represented sexual harassment and assault victims at all career levels, from c-suite executives of “Fortune 100″ companies to directors at publicly traded companies to professionals across all industries to minimum wage earners and interns starting in the workforce. Many of the firm’s largest settlements and verdicts have come from workplace sexual harassment cases. We are proud to have helped hundreds of survivors achieve justice and accountability.
Sexual harassment not only remain one the most pervasive and common problems in the physical workplace, but also can happen outside of the workplace and in connection with someone who is seeking employment. If you or a loved one has been sexually harassed, please contact an experienced attorney for advice.
Sexual assault does not require an employment relationship. It is a sexual act or behavior forced upon someone without their consent and does not need to include using force. Examples of sexual assault are rape, forcible touching, sexual abuse, criminal or coercive sexual acts and other sexual misconduct.
The recently passed New York Adult Survivors Act (ASA) allows adult sexual assault survivors a new, additional one-year window to bring claims against abusers in New York and temporarily sets aside the statute of limitations. The ASA is effective until November 24, 2023, and you can also bring claims against an individual perpetrator or against companies and institutions that would otherwise have been liable had a timely claim been brought.
At Wigdor LLP, our sexual assault lawyers treat survivors with compassion, empowering victims to recover with dignity and justice, while protecting them throughout the process. If you or a loved one has been the victim of a sexual assault, please reach out to an experienced sexual assault attorney for advice.
