Never before has there been a time to train employees on proper, professional conduct, and to prepare for potential future claims of lapse of oversight as there is now—in the wake of the #MeToo movement. When personnel policies are inadequate or not adhered to, discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims are brought before a variety of federal, state and local agencies with jurisdiction to enforce equal employment opportunity laws. Our lawyers have extensive experience with these governmental agencies.
