NYC Sexual Harassment Legal Results
Sexual harassment destroys more than your workday—it damages your career, your confidence, and your financial future. You deserve compensation that reflects the full scope of what you’ve lost.
When we win your case, you’re not just getting money back. You’re getting your power back. Lost wages, emotional distress, punitive damages—we pursue every dollar you’re owed while ensuring your harasser faces real consequences.
Our track record speaks clearly: $80 million in class action victories, millions more for individual clients, and a reputation that makes employers take notice before they even think about retaliation.

NYC Workplace Harassment Law Coverage
New York employees have stronger protections than most states. We leverage federal Title VII protections, New York State Human Rights Law, and NYC Human Rights Law—often the most employee-friendly in the nation.
In the Flatiron District’s competitive professional environment, harassment cases often involve complex power dynamics. Tech executives, finance managers, legal partners—harassers in positions of authority who think they’re untouchable.
Our representation covers hostile work environment claims, quid pro quo harassment, sexual assault, retaliation protection, and wrongful termination. We handle cases against individual harassers and the companies that enable them, pursuing both compensatory and punitive damages.
What should I do immediately after experiencing sexual harassment at work?
Document everything immediately, but do it safely. Save inappropriate messages, emails, or communications to your personal devices—never store evidence on work equipment where it can be deleted.
Write down detailed accounts of each incident including dates, times, locations, and witnesses. Don’t confront your harasser directly or file internal complaints until you’ve spoken with an attorney.
Call us first for a confidential consultation. We’ll help you understand your legal options and guide you through evidence collection that will strengthen your case, whether you decide to pursue internal resolution or legal action.
Can I sue for sexual harassment if I didn't report it to HR first?
Yes, absolutely. While some employers claim you must use their internal procedures first, New York law doesn’t require you to report harassment to HR before filing a legal claim.
In fact, many harassment victims are better served by consulting with an attorney before making any internal complaints. HR departments often protect the company’s interests, not yours.
We can help you decide whether internal reporting makes strategic sense for your situation, or whether filing directly with the EEOC or in court is the better approach for maximum compensation and protection.
How much compensation can I receive for workplace sexual harassment?
Compensation varies significantly based on the severity of harassment, its impact on your career, and the financial resources of your employer. Our clients have recovered settlements ranging from tens of thousands to millions of dollars.
You may be entitled to lost wages, future earning capacity, emotional distress damages, medical expenses for therapy, and punitive damages designed to punish the wrongdoer. In federal cases, there are caps on certain damages, but New York state and city laws often allow unlimited compensation.
The key is building a strong case with clear documentation of both the harassment and its impact on your life and career. We work with employment economists and mental health experts to quantify your full damages.
What if my harasser is a high-level executive or company owner?
High-level harassers often believe they’re above the law, but they’re not. In fact, cases against executives and owners often result in larger settlements because these individuals have more to lose professionally and financially.
Companies are strictly liable for harassment by supervisors and executives under most circumstances. When the harasser is an owner or C-level executive, the company can’t claim they didn’t know about the problem.
We’ve successfully represented clients against Fortune 500 executives, law firm partners, and company owners. These cases require sophisticated legal strategy and an attorney who isn’t intimidated by corporate power—which is exactly what we provide.
Will my employer retaliate against me for filing a sexual harassment claim?
Retaliation is illegal under federal, state, and local laws, but it unfortunately happens. That’s why we take proactive steps to protect you from the moment you contact us.
We document your job performance, responsibilities, and workplace relationships before you file any claims. If retaliation occurs—termination, demotion, negative reviews, hostile treatment—that becomes a separate legal violation with additional damages.
Many employers actually become more careful about their treatment of employees once they know legal representation is involved. Our reputation in the legal community often provides protection simply because employers know we’re watching.
How long do I have to file a sexual harassment lawsuit in New York?
Time limits vary depending on which laws you’re filing under, but they’re shorter than most people realize. Federal EEOC complaints must be filed within 300 days of the harassment. New York State complaints have a one-year deadline, while NYC Human Rights Law allows up to three years.
However, these deadlines can be complex. Ongoing harassment may reset the clock, and different types of claims have different time limits. Missing a deadline can completely bar your case, regardless of how strong your evidence is.
The sooner you contact us, the more options you’ll have. Even if you’re not sure you want to pursue legal action, getting advice early ensures you don’t accidentally waive important rights by waiting too long.
