Legal Support for Employees

Discrimination and Harassment

We represent employees facing workplace discrimination, harassment, or retaliation based on race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other protected status under federal or state law.

Wrongful Termination

If you’ve been terminated for reporting misconduct, taking leave, or exercising your legal rights, our attorneys will evaluate your case and pursue remedies under applicable employment laws.

Wage and Hour Violations

We help workers recover unpaid wages, overtime, and benefits under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and state wage laws. We also handle tip violations, misclassification, and overtime disputes.

Whistleblower Protection

We represent whistleblowers under state and federal laws including the NY Labor Law §§ 740/741, the Federal False Claims Act, and the SEC Whistleblower Program, ensuring protection against retaliation.

Representation for Independent Contractors

Misclassification and Employment Rights

If you are misclassified as an independent contractor, you may be entitled to wage protections, benefits, and other employee rights. We pursue claims to reclassify workers and recover damages.

Contract Negotiation and Disputes

We advise on independent contractor agreements, enforce payment terms, and litigate contract breaches. Whether your dispute involves a non-compete clause, late payment, or vague scope, we advocate for your interests.

Protection Against Discrimination

Independent contractors (non-employees) may be protected from workplace discrimination. We help assert your rights under applicable city and state civil rights laws, even if you’re not a formal employee.
