The Firm

Wigdor is widely considered the top employment litigation and sexual harassment and sexual assault law firm nationwide.

Our employment lawyers represent individuals and groups in matters involving discrimination, harassment and retaliation, wrongful termination, executive compensation, employment agreements, restrictive covenants and other employment-related litigation. We also represent survivors of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Our mission is to fight aggressively for our clients who have experienced employment discrimination, sexual harassment or sexual assault. Our attorneys advocate tenaciously for our clients in both high profile and confidential matters.

With decades of experience, remarkable results and a powerful reputation as a law firm to listen to, Wigdor gives a voice to those who have suffered and empowers our clients to achieve their best outcomes. Because many of our lawyers came from large law firms representing corporations, we have the perspective on how company-defendants will fight these cases and use this information successfully to our clients’ advantage.

We are known for our unrivaled trial skills and negotiation capabilities. No other employment litigation law firm has our courtroom experience and record of success.

Some of our highest profile matters, which have impacted their industries and beyond include:

• Race discrimination lawsuit Wigdor filed against the NFL on behalf of former Miami Dolphins coach, Brian Flores and two other coaches, which sparked a national discussion about racial injustice in the NFL.
• Wigdor client Tarale Wulf was one of three women who testified against Harvey Weinstein during his sexual assault trial in New York for which he received 23 years in prison, the start of the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault.
• Blockbuster gender and age discrimination lawsuit Wigdor filed on behalf of five former female news anchors at NY1 in 2019. The suit was recently settled confidentially and served as a platform for renewed public debate about the prominence of age discrimination against women in broadcast media, and the need for widespread change.
• Class-action lawsuit that Wigdor filed against Uber, alleging countless female riders reported rape, sexual assault, and gender-motivated violence from their Uber drivers which launched a national discourse about the safety of using ride-hailing apps.
• Wigdor Law filed several lawsuits alleging a widespread pattern of discrimination and retaliation in Amazon’s corporate offices and warehouses, contributing to the national discourse about the tech giant’s treatment of employees.
