The Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act played heavily in the court's ruling of our current Diaz-Roa v. Hermes Law PC et al. matter. Lead attorney Valdi Licul: “The Court’s decision indicates that individuals who are sexually harassed in the workplace will be able to benefit fully from the broad language of the EFAA, which was meant to protect women like our client from being forced into arbitration.” Learn more at https://bit.ly/4g6pPsP

Our Founding Partner, Douglas H. Wigdor has been highly involved in recent sexual abuse civil cases where the plaintiffs filed the complaint anonymously as Jane/John Doe. Today, he weighs in with the New York Times in the debate between protecting victims’ privacy and the impact of anonymity on a fair trial. “One can imagine someone who is coming forward with a claim of sexual assault who has children and relatives who don’t even know about it. The potential psychological damage and stigma associated with that leads some — but not all — of our clients to want to proceed as a Jane or John Doe.” https://nyti.ms/3CfxypH
