Training Seminars

In judging whether an employer has been negligent in preventing sexual harassment under state law, New Jersey state courts consider whether the employer made training available to all employees. Gaines v. Bellino, 173 N.J. 301 (2002). Employers who provide sexual harassment training have an affirmative defense against these claims when raised by employees. Our training seminars help your business not only prevent sexual harassment and discrimination from occurring in the first place, but can also assist you in defending against a claim, should one arise.

Harassment/Discrimination Claims

Has an employee brought an internal complaint of harassment or discrimination to management’s attention? Have you already been served with a charge or complaint? If so, we can help. Our experienced attorneys routinely:

  • Conduct internal investigations in response to an employee’s allegation of NJ harassment/discrimination before litigation ensues. Oftentimes, early intervention by our experienced attorneys prevents further litigation from ensuing. We work closely with employers to assist in the development of remedial action and resolve workplace concerns before litigation ensues.
  • Defend employers in state/federal court and before state/federal agencies against claims of harassment/discrimination.
  • Provide our clients with on-going counsel to ensure they remain compliant with ADA, FMLA, New Jersey Family Leave Act, and other employment laws to ensure discrimination claims are not filed.
  • Advise employers on hiring/promotion/leaves of absences/disciplinary measures/terminations to ensure inadvertent discrimination does not occur.

By offering harassment/discrimination courses at your place of work, you can be well protected against an employee’s claim against you. We can offer you support and assistance if you should find yourself entrenched in this matter.
