Employment Discrimination and Harassment

As the scope of the laws prohibiting discrimination and harassment continue to expand, Fisher & Phillips lawyers regularly defend employers against claims of discrimination, harassment and retaliation brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and similar federal and state laws. We defend lawsuits in federal and state courts around the country, including class actions and multi-plaintiff cases. We also defend employers against discrimination charges brought before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and similar state agencies.

Additionally, our attorneys design policies against discrimination and harassment, conduct management and supervisory training, and guide employers in the internal investigation of harassment and discrimination claims. We defend educational institutions against Title IX claims. We assist employers in the drafting of affirmative action plans, and we represent employers that are the subject of OFCCP compliance audits. We also defend businesses and property owners in ADA Title III litigation, and we defend property owners against fair housing claims.
