Gender Discrimination Among Professionals Attorney in New York, NY

Gender Discrimination Among Professionals Overview

Employment discrimination lawyer John M. Lambros recognizes that women professionals in New York City remain subject to negative gender stereotypes in their careers. Serving clients in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, the Law Office of John M. Lambros offers skilled and experienced representation to clients who have experienced sex discrimination in the workplace.

New York City professionals have the opportunity to work for the most distinguished law firms in the country or at the seat of American high finance on Wall Street. Despite the fact that women became an integral part of the professional work force long ago, the glass ceiling still exists in New York. Although women now constitute more than 50 percent of law school graduates, the percentage of women in law firm partnerships does not reflect their presence in the legal practice at large. Likewise, the top tiers of the financial sector do not equally represent the women working in its ranks.

Sex discrimination in the workplace takes many forms. A woman can be denied opportunities for advancement because her superiors presume her performance in the future will be limited by motherhood, or may simply be terminated after returning from maternity leave. Women can also suffer workplace retaliation after reporting sexual harassment. Additionally, sex discrimination claims are not unique to female professionals. Hostile work environments can be created from prejudice against an individual’s sexual orientation and men can be denied opportunities in cases of reverse discrimination.

Instances of sex discrimination in the workplace can be surprisingly overt. In other instances, the discrimination is subtle and hidden behind fabricated justifications for employer misconduct. Attorney Lambros works hard to get to the facts of a sex discrimination case that may be behind employer pretext.
