Reliable Representation for Employment Discrimination Lawsuits

California is an at-will employment state. This means an employer can terminate an employee for any reason as long as it is not discriminatory. Nevertheless, discrimination and hostile work environment lawsuits continue to be some of the most common legal actions brought by employees. An employee may bring a lawsuit due to alleged discrimination in connection with all phases of the employment process, including the following:

  • The hiring and interviewing processes
  • The testing process
  • Demotion or transfers
  • Layoffs
  • Compensation matters
  • The complaint handling process
  • Termination

It’s essential for employers to be apprised of the state, federal, and local discrimination laws. These are not something to be taken lightly — from the pre-employment process through termination, an employer must comply with the necessary legal requirements. Offering responsive representation and creative solutions, the employment law attorneys at White & Bright take a proactive approach to discrimination matters and have a deep understanding of what it takes to build a strong defense.
