Compassionate Sexual Harassment Lawyers Protect Employees from Sexual Harassment by the Business Owner or Co-Owners.
Sexual harassment by the owner of the company is a form of sex discrimination under federal and state laws. When your business owner, co-owner, CEO, CFO, President, or any member of upper management sexually harasses you, you are entitled to compensation.
Sexual harassment from company leadership occurs when any of the above makes the following unwanted actions towards an employee or job applicant: unwanted sexual advances, unwanted sexual comments, unwelcome physical contact, etc.
For over 25 years, the experienced sexual harassment attorneys and the team of former sex-crimes prosecutors at the Derek Smith Law Group in New York City, Philadelphia, Miami, Los Angeles, or New Jersey have helped victims of sexual harassment receive the compensation they deserve.
