Defending Against Employment Discrimination Claims
When employees pursue federal civil rights claims of employment discrimination or sexual harassment, employers and insurance companies should protect themselves by retaining a law firm with experience successfully resolving employment discrimination claims.
At O'Connor, McGuinness, Conte, Doyle and Oleson, our attorneys have more than 50 years of experience defending against employment discrimination and other civil rights claims.
Discovering the Case Against You
Our success in these cases often hinges on the discovery process. We request a great deal of detailed documentation from the plaintiff, including e-mail communications and electronic documents. Our employment discrimination lawyers understand the nuances of the new federal statutes on e-discovery and know how to use them to our clients' advantage.
The plaintiff's co-workers are frequently an important source of information about the plaintiff's case. Our employment discrimination lawyers will interview co-workers who may have knowledge about the situation that managers and supervisors do not.
Our firm can handle an employment discrimination case from the initial response to the complaint or take it over at any point in the process. Clients also rely on us for representation in employment discrimination appeals.
Defending Clients in State and Federal Courts
Most frequently, we defend against employment discrimination claims in state court, but also represent clients in federal court claims. Whatever the venue, we recognize that litigation is an unwelcome and costly distraction for employers. So we focus on resolving disputes as quickly and cost effectively as possible.
