$620,000.00– Age Discrimination Case

Firm represented a seventy-one year old male against his former employer for violations of the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”) and the New York State Human Rights Law (“NYSHRL”). Under the ADEA and NYSHRL, it is unlawful to discriminate against a person because of his or her age with respect to any term, condition, or privilege of employment, including hiring, firing, promotion, layoff, compensation, benefits, job assignments, and training. Despite our client’s overwhelming positive contribution to the Company for approximately fifteen years, the Company terminated his employment due to his age. After engaging in mediation, the Firm negotiated a pre-litigation settlement of $620,000.00. Alexander T. Coleman handled the matter for the Firm.
