Defense of Discrimination & Harassment | Rockville Centre Discrimination Defense Lawyer

Defending Employers in Long Island and New York City

If your company is being investigated by a government agency or sued by your employees for discrimination, you need to contact an attorney immediately. In a lawsuit, you may have only 20 days to answer the complaint. It is possible that a discrimination lawsuit could become a class action and involve all of your employees.

The lawyers at the Law Office of Gregory S. Lisi defend employers, including management and executives, from accusations of discrimination or harassment in New York City and Long Island. We have represented government agencies as well as large and small corporations, including supermarkets, restaurants, delis, factories and manufacturing facilities. We also represent professionals such as lawyers, accountants, doctors and dentists.

For aggressive defense of discrimination and harassment, contact our attorneys. We provide free consultations and knowledgeable representation.

Avoid Litigation Through Careful Planning and Drafting

In order to avoid litigation, it is important to have a comprehensive employee handbook that outlines your policies on discrimination and harassment. At our firm, we can work with you to develop an employee handbook that contains robust anti-sexual harassment and anti-discrimination policies. We can also work with you to ensure that your handbook complies with the applicable state and federal laws regarding wage and overtime.

Handling Complaints Internally

If you have received a complaint of discrimination or harassment from an employee, you should immediately open in investigation. You will need to assign an unbiased investigator to investigate the claim and determine whether or not there is truth to the allegations. If there is evidence, then you or your company must take immediate action. This can help you set up a defense to future lawsuits and government actions.

In many cases, a business may be successful in court regarding a discrimination or harassment claim. However, they may then lose a claim for retaliation. You must take care in how you handle an employee who has made a discrimination or harassment compliant so you can avoid accusation of retaliation.

At every stage, from planning your employee handbook, to defending you from a class action retaliation claim, our attorneys will provide you with the skilled and knowledgeable legal counsel your business needs. We will work with you to make sure you understand your options, and we will help you protect your business interests from government actions and lawsuits.
