One of the most common civil rights claims involves discrimination, whether it be of race, sex or age. Acts such as the ADEA (Age Discrimination Employment Act) and the (PHRA) Pennsylvania Human Rights Act) protect individuals from being terminated by discriminating means in the workplace. Designated as direct or indirect discrimination, cases may require different approaches depending on the circumstances surrounding the claim.

We have experience in representing employers and employees in discrimination claims and take immediate action to assess the situation before prominent details are lost.

For our employer clients, we provide guidance on creating hiring, termination and everyday anti-discrimination policies to prevent these claims as much as possible, but also prepare you should a case arise.
