Our NYC Employment Practice Areas

Discrimination

Under federal, New York state, and city law, employers are prohibited from discriminating against employees or job candidates based on age, race or color, religion, disability, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, and other protected characteristics.
Wrongful Termination

New York is an “at-will” state, meaning you can be fired at any time with or without cause; however, you cannot be fired because of your race, gender, disability, or any other protected characteristic or in retaliation for attempting to enforce your employment rights.
Retaliation / Whistleblowing

Federal, state, and city laws protect your right to complain or “blow the whistle” about discrimination, harassment, wages, and unsafe conditions without experiencing retaliation, which may include demotion, discipline, or dismissal.
Employment and Severance Agreements

Employment agreements are contracts detailing what is expected of the employer and the employee, often restricting what employees can do (e.g., confidentiality, non-compete, ownership of work product). Severance agreements, by contrast, document that the employee, upon termination, agrees not to sue the employer in exchange for severance pay and other benefits.
Sexual Harassment / Hostile Work Environment

All employees in New York are entitled to a workplace free of sexual harassment, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, or gender identity. Harassment includes, among other things, unwelcome sexual advances, offensive jokes, and unwanted touching.
Unpaid Overtime

Many employees are entitled to overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a week. Our employment lawyers will help you determine whether your position requires overtime pay under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage-and-hour laws, and, if so, how much you are owed.
