Valentine’s Day often poses a higher risk of sexual assault and harassment. The holiday often comes with heightened expectations around romantic or sexual activity that can cross a boundary and increased alcohol consumption that may impair judgement or embolden coercive behavior. At Wigdor, we understand there is no excuse for intimate partner violence or unwanted advances. If you feel you are at risk, please reach out to us at 212-257-6800 or contact@wigdorlaw.com

We’re ready for you to meet another member of team Wigdor! John Crain is a Sr. Associate devoted to antidiscrimination law and upholding civil rights. He graduated summa cum laude from Brooklyn Law School, where he received that Faculty Prize for exceptional academic record and future professional achievement. His work on Ronen v. Redroute, Inc. even set a precedent on NYCHRL associational and caregiver discrimination. (We’d say this awarded “Rising Star” has checked the professional achievement box!) https://bit.ly/4aYM2Yd

The Gender-Motivated Violence Act (GMVA) is a New York City law that allows victims of gender-based violence (including rape and sexual assault) to file claims against the wrongdoer and those third parties who allowed it to happen. There is a 2-year "lookback window" to file under this law, and it will be closing THIS MONTH on 2/28/25. There is still time to secure justice and accountability, and we are here to help. Please reach out to us if you think this applies to you or if you just want to understand your options. #employmentlaw #gmva

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, MO has impacted the way we may litigate Title VII matters. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, sexual orientation, and gender identity), or national origin. The decision changes the standard that determines what degree of harm makes such discrimination unlawful, reducing the threshold in favor of the plaintiff. We appreciate Law360's analysis of this decision and look forward to continuing our fight for employee rights. https://bit.ly/40PhJjb
