While counseling her on how to navigate her work situation, ERA prepared a demand letter on her behalf.  ERA successfully negotiated a settlement for the woman, which among other things, required the company to strengthen its internal sexual harassment policies and complaint procedure. Our client has recently found new employment and is happy she can now put the mistreatment she experienced behind her.
