Retaliation claims can be among the most difficult to defend particularly in the context of a shifting legal landscape. A retaliation claim is often couched as an illegal employer reaction to an employee's complaint about workplace sexual harassment or other discrimination, and those claims succeed or fail independently of the underlying claim. This program will provide you with a practical discussion of the current state of the law of retaliation claims, including how the seminal Burlington Northern case has evolved in the courts, the elements of an actionable case, regulatory issues and developments, and best practices of working with whistleblowers and others who have alleged discrimination so as to reduce the risk of liability for retaliation.
