Defending Employers Facing Discrimination And Harassment Lawsuits

An employer’s financial exposure can be significant in a lawsuit for employment discrimination or harassment, which often includes substantial claims for punitive damages and attorney fees. Claims of employee harassment can also result in individual liability for members of your executive staff, your management team and your employees.

These employment discrimination claims require a vigorous and thorough defense. CE Smith Law Firm represents California employers and their management teams against claims of discrimination, harassment and retaliation brought in either California’s Superior Court or Federal Court under the Fair Employment Housing Act, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and similar federal and California laws.

Equipped To Challenge And Resolve Complex Charges

With far greater resources at the government’s disposal, a governmental investigation can be extremely intrusive and intimidating for any employer. CE Smith Law Firm will protect your rights and defend your business and your management team against charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, California’s Fair Employment & Housing Commission and similar federal and state agencies.

At your request, attorney Clifton E. Smith can explore cost-effective alternatives to defense litigation in state or federal court, such as mediation or arbitration of disputes. Contact the firm to determine if this is a viable option for the resolution of your case.
