Congratulations to our Attorneys!
With return-to-work plans in full swing, the year 2021 created a host of new challenges for employers and employees alike. Meanwhile, a renewed spotlight on workplace diversity, equity and inclusion — largely spurred by the Black Lives Matter protests of last year — continues to pressure companies to reevaluate their policies that may have had an adverse impact on marginalized groups. As a result, claims of workplace discrimination and retaliation by vulnerable individuals (such as pregnant women, working mothers, immunocompromised employees, workers over 60, employees of color and others) remain a steady liability risk to businesses during the pandemic.
Wigdor LLP is proud to be at the forefront of the fight for employees’ rights, representing victims in some of the most impactful employment discrimination and sexual abuse cases of our time.
