Discrimination Cases
RTT has substantial federal and state law experience advising clients in all aspects of employment discrimination based on family leave, race, religion, disability, sex, national origin, age, marital status and union status. RTT has tried many employment discrimination cases before administrative agencies, and state and federal courts and frequently conducts seminars for clients in order to instruct supervisors on the requirements of the various anti-discrimination laws and the procedures to be followed to avoid costly and time-consuming litigation based on claims of illegal discrimination. RTT has also tried cases before the Public Employees’ Relations Commission and the National Labor Relations Board.

| Employment Practices Liability
Tens of thousands of lawsuits are filed in federal court each year alleging civil rights violations of some kind. Of these, in a recent year, more than 24,000 were employment discrimination lawsuits against private employers. These numbers are expected to be even higher in the future. Many companies have turned to Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) to manage this risk. EPLI policies differ from Comprehensive General Liability (CGL) policies in several key ways. EPLI policies insure against liability arising from employment practices while CGL policies insure against claims for bodily injury and property damage—that is, tangible damages. Furthermore, intentional acts, as commonly claimed in employment suits, and bodily injury to employees arising out of and in the course of employment or out of performing duties related to an employer's business typically are excluded under CGL policies. RTT has handled many such claims.
