Workplace Discrimination
Workplace discrimination can take many forms, from subtle biases in promotion decisions to overt acts of unequal treatment based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin. At 59Law.com, we can help employees who have been subjected to unlawful discrimination assert their rights and hold their employers accountable under federal and New York State law.
For employers, we offer proactive counsel to ensure compliance with anti-discrimination laws, including risk management. Whether you are an individual seeking justice or an employer striving to create a more equitable workplace, our firm is equipped to investigate, litigate, and resolve discrimination claims with precision and discretion.
Wrongful Termination
Being unexpectedly terminated from a job can be both emotionally and financially devastating, especially when the firing is unlawful. We represent employees who have been wrongfully discharged for reasons that violate public policy, breach employment contracts, or stem from discrimination or retaliation. Employers can also rely on us for strategic legal advice to prevent liability, properly document performance issues, and ensure lawful separation processes.
Our firm meticulously evaluates the facts surrounding each termination to determine whether legal action is appropriate and provides decisive representation in settlement negotiations or courtroom proceedings.
Workplace Harassment
Harassment in the workplace, whether sexual, verbal, physical, or psychological, creates a toxic environment that can have lasting impacts on an employee’s well-being and an employer’s reputation. At 59Law.com, we help individuals subjected to hostile or offensive conduct take meaningful action under Title VII and the New York Human Rights Law. Our attorneys can work closely with clients to document incidents, file administrative complaints, and seek appropriate remedies in court.
We also counsel employers on preventative strategies, including employee training and robust internal policies, to mitigate exposure and maintain compliance. Our team understands the sensitivity these cases require, and we approach each matter with compassion, tenacity, and a clear focus on resolution.
Worker Retaliation
Employees who speak out against unlawful practices should never face retaliation for doing the right thing. Unfortunately, retaliatory actions, such as demotions, pay cuts, or dismissals, remain all too common. At 59Law.com, we vigorously represent individuals who have suffered negative consequences for reporting discrimination, harassment, safety violations, wage theft, or other protected activities. Our team knows how to uncover retaliatory motives hidden behind pretextual justifications. For employers, we provide guidance on how to address employee complaints lawfully and avoid retaliation pitfalls through proper HR protocols.
Wage & Hour Issues
Wage and hour disputes arise when employees are not compensated in accordance with state and federal labor laws. These issues can include unpaid overtime, misclassification of employees as independent contractors, failure to pay minimum wage, or denied rest and meal breaks. Our firm assists employees in recovering the compensation they are rightfully owed, including interest and penalties where applicable.
Employers can count on us to audit payroll practices, classify workers correctly, and defend against Department of Labor investigations or lawsuits. We are meticulous in our approach and are familiar with the intricacies of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and New York Labor Law.
FMLA Disputes
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides eligible employees with job-protected leave to care for themselves or their loved ones. However, disputes often arise over eligibility, leave duration, reinstatement rights, or perceived abuse of leave. At 59Law.com, we advocate for employees whose rights under the FMLA, or comparable state laws, have been denied or interfered with. We can also represent employers facing FMLA-related claims, helping to ensure that policies and practices align with complex regulatory requirements. These cases require a thorough understanding of both the letter and the spirit of the law, and our attorneys are adept at analyzing nuanced fact patterns to determine liability or defense.
