Carney Shegerian was recently interviewed by US News & World Report as an expert trial lawyer in employment & sexual harassment matters for an article titled “How to Shut Down Workplace Sexual Harassment”.
“If you have this kind of clause in your job contract, you will have much less power to fairly resolve a sexual harassment case, says employee rights attorney Carney Shegerian, who estimates that 20 percent of potential cases he reviews involve targets who are bound by arbitration agreements. Companies may have relationships with arbitrators, who, in Shegerian’s experience, sometimes throw out valid cases and tend to award targets only 10 percent of what a jury would award for the same situation.”
