Trade Secrets

Employment Discrimination
Workplace discrimination and harassment claims are among the most prevalent types of employment-related complaints and lawsuits encountered by most businesses. In recent years, the number of discrimination/harassment claims filed in State and Federal Courts and with government agencies such as the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the NYS Division of Human Rights has skyrocketed due to ever-expanding legislative protections for workers together with an increasingly employee-friendly judiciary. Formerly a concern only for New York’s largest employers, nowadays even the smallest of businesses often find themselves facing a workplace discrimination/harassment lawsuit or related government investigation.
Employment Contract
At Stephen D. Hans & Associates, P.C., our lawyers specialize in assisting small and mid-size businesses negotiate and draft employment agreements for newly hired employees. We are also there to assist employers at the other end of the employment relationship, negotiating and preparing severance/separation agreements for departing employees.
Employment Litigation
If you are a small or mid-sized business owner facing an employment lawsuit or investigation, or if you need legal help to avoid costly and distracting employment disputes, call our law firm at (718) 275-6700 to arrange a consultation. We look forward to working with you to resolve your existing employment issues and to prevent future ones from arising.
Severance Agreement
Almost all employment laws have built-in provisions specifically making it unlawful for an employer to retaliate against an employee for either complaining of conduct prohibited by the law or taking legal action against the employer under the law. These anti-retaliation provisions are enacted to encourage employees to take action to remedy perceived violations of the law and provide protection to those that do. Unfortunately, many employees often abuse these protections by making baseless complaints about alleged unlawful conduct by an employer as a means of providing themselves with job security in difficult economic times or when they are not meeting performance expectations. These employees think that simply lodging a complaint of unlawful employer conduct may either protect their employment position or at the very least provide them with grounds for negotiating for higher severance pay upon their termination.
Sexual Harassment
Three employees sued the management of a well known Queens bakery for sexual harassment. The action was commenced in the Supreme Court in Queens County. Stephen D. Hans & Associates settled the matter for a small fraction of what the plaintiffs demanded, at an amount that was minimal to the bakery. The firm has defended many businesses against unwarranted and baseless claims of sex harassment and/or discrimination.

Personal Injury
Mr. Hans met Frank Cerniglia in those early years, and they joined forces primarily focused on employment law and personal injury law. By the late 90’s, the firm was established as an employment/labor firm and began increasing representation of clients in this area. The practice began phasing out other areas of representation.
Disability Discrimination
Stephen D. Hans & Associates represented a community not-for-profit group that provides low income housing to the poor and homeless. One of their building superintendents filed a claim with the New York State Division of Human Rights against the organization alleging disability discrimination. Stephen D. Hans & Associates appeared at a public hearing before the New York State Division of Human Rights and after a trial with extensive testimony and evidence, the Administrative Law Judge ruled in favor of the non-profit organization and dismissed the claim.
