Fighting New York City Gender Discrimination
Gender discrimination can be overt in some cases and incredibly subtle in others. Time and again, employers let sex influence the important decisions they make about employees' careers and lives. There are numerous federal, state and local laws that protect employees from discrimination based on their gender. At the law office of Taubman Kimelman & Soroka, we help men and women protect their right to fair employment free from discrimination.
Our attorneys are highly experienced litigators with years of employment law and discrimination experience as well as a proven record of success. We take on clients from all areas of the workforce, including private sector, public and union workers.

New York State and City provide progressive discrimination protections above and beyond federal statutes such as Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Equal Pay Act of 1963. When it comes to gender, employers cannot discriminate based on gender or perceived stereotypic gender roles in matters such as:
- Hiring or firing
- Compensation and overtime
- Advancement and promotion
- Layoffs
- Training
- Access to facilities
Unfortunately, our attorneys continue to see cases where employers discriminate in numerous ways, such as not offering promotions based on pregnancy discrimination or refusing to hire women for certain jobs they see as traditionally male. Sometimes sexual harassment is involved in discrimination, though not always, and it can be men who are the victim as well as women.
If you suspect that you may be the victim of discrimination or a hostile work environment, it is important to get professional counsel and assistance sooner rather than later. Even if you don't have a strong case right away, particularly where the discrimination may be more subtle, we can help you build the evidence you need to show a pattern of abuse and discrimination.
