Defending Businesses Against Discrimination And Harassment Claims

Title VII and its state counterpart set out many legal requirements that can be damaging to an unsuspecting or unprepared business. Title VII bans discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, disability and sexual harassment. However, Title VII also provides protection for employers.

Unlike most lawsuits, Title VII claims are initiated with an investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and/or Texas Workforce Commission.

Immediate Action Required

A successful defense against Title VII claims begins with the employer’s response to the EEOC. The choices made during the EEOC process can either severely limit future legal maneuverability or lay the groundwork for the effective resolution of legal claims. Therefore, it is imperative that a business facing a Title VII complaint has experienced attorneys to advise, guide and protect it through the legal process.
