Conducted Urgent Internal Harassment Investigation and Obtained Favorable Settlement of Subsequent Lawsuit

Winston represented a major international fashion company in a highly confidential matter that began as an urgent investigation of harassment and related allegations. Over the course of the investigation, we convened a meeting of the Board of Directors; provided regular consultation with the five female executive complainants and subsequent negotiation with complainants counsel; conducted an interview and negotiation with the CEO (the accused) and his counsel; revised employment contracts; revised severance agreements; updated handbooks; planned for a reduction-in-force (RIF); provided daily consultation with interim executives; and dealt with insurance brokers and carriers; among other things.

At mediation, we settled the matter on behalf of our client for approximately one tenth of the claim value....Read more

What Is Tracking and Monitoring Law?

Tracking apps on mobile phones can continue to broadcast an employee’s location even after work hours. That is why companies must ensure they are satisfying employees’ expectations of privacy....Read more
