OUR TEAM
Powerful corporations sometimes trample the rights of individuals and smaller businesses. Litigation is often the only avenue to compensate victims of corporate wrongdoing. For over 45 years, we have fought corporate abuse, pursuing litigation on behalf of affected individuals, whistleblowers, public entities and other institutions in cases that have raised challenging, significant and at times, novel issues. We hold large corporations accountable for their actions even though they often have significantly more resources than those damaged by their misconduct. One way this is accomplished is by bringing large numbers of plaintiffs together in a single class to enhance their ability to litigate effectively.
One of the premier firms in the country handling major complex plaintiff-side litigation, Cohen Milstein has over 100 attorneys in offices in Washington, DC, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Palm Beach Gardens, and Raleigh.
Since opening our firm in 2005, we’ve represented employees who have experienced unlawful treatment in the workplace. We represent employees who believe they have been passed over for a job or promotion because of the color of their skin, their sex or age, or because they have a disability. We have assisted employees who need an accommodation because of their disability or religion to be able to meaningfully continue their employment. We have helped employees who have been subjected to sexual assault and harassment in the workplace, or who are treated differently because of their sexual orientation or being transgender.
We help clients fighting against all areas of discrimination covered by federal and applicable state and local laws. We help clients who have experienced retaliation for standing up against discrimination or other wrongdoing in the workplace, or who are retaliated against for engaging in whistleblowing activity.
We also represent federal employees facing suspensions, demotions or removals from federal service, or who need assistance with security clearance issues or applying for disability retirement matters. We additionally represent employees who have not been compensated correctly or are victims of wage theft.
