An employment lawyer in New York City deals with a busy mix of workplace disputes. Discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims are common, along with unpaid wages and overtime, misclassification of freelancers, whistleblower cases and severance negotiations. Employers in finance, media, hospitality and tech ask for handbooks, non compete and confidentiality terms and help with investigations.
New York City workers have strong local protections. The New York City Human Rights Law is broader than federal law in many respects, and the Freelance Isn't Free Act protects independent contractors. Complaints can go to the NYC Commission on Human Rights, the New York State Division of Human Rights or the EEOC, and wage claims to the state Department of Labor. Lawsuits are filed in state Supreme Court or in federal court in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Deadlines differ by law and agency, and some are as short as 300 days, so act early. You can check any attorney through the New York State Unified Court System Attorney Search.
