Discrimination and Harassment

Employment policies related to discrimination and harassment that are well written, distributed to all employees, and regularly adhered to are critical for preventing employee discrimination and harassment lawsuits. Our employment lawyers regularly defend businesses and employers beginning with the investigation process on Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and Utah Antidiscrimination and Labor Division (UALD) claims through charges filed and subsequent litigation.

We work with our clients to develop preventive measures, such as handbooks, policies, and training seminars, to educate and inform employees and supervisors about appropriate workplace behavior. Policies and training, however, are not always fail-safe and, unfortunately, some disputes may deteriorate into lawsuits.

Our employment and litigation lawyers often combine their efforts in situations such as:

• Sexual harassment
• Gender, racial, or religious discrimination or harassment
• Disability discrimination
• Wrongful termination
