From Dominique Strauss-Kahn to Harvey Weinstein, Wigdor LLP has been at the forefront of some of the most closely watched sexual harassment and assault cases of the last decade.

OUR DIFFERENCE IS BUILT ON FOUR CORE PRINCIPLES:

VERDICTS MATTER

Our cases and consistent multi-million dollar verdicts have been covered in virtually every major news outlet, receiving worldwide attention. No other employment litigation firm today has our courtroom experience and record.

NEGOTIATING POWER

Because we have a reputation for obtaining multi-million dollar verdicts, we are able to settle the majority of our cases without the need for even filing complaints. These confidential settlements total over a billion dollars.

EACH CASE IS UNIQUE

Many law firms work on volume. We work for the individual client and we are extremely selective in whom we choose to represent. Our process begins with careful vetting to ensure the best possible preparation and maintains the same high level of commitment throughout a matter. As a result, whether a case goes to trial or is settled, the Wigdor team and its clients are poised to achieve the most favorable possible outcome.

TRACK RECORD

Our results have been included in the New York Law Journal’s Top Verdicts six times. We have also obtained numerous million dollar confidential arbitration awards. For more information, please see Testimonials and Victories.

Testimonials & Victories – Our Clients Tell Our Story Best

Female employee of large bank in pregnancy discrimination case:

My experience with the Firm was empowering because I know that many women out there are too scared of standing up for what’s right out of fear of losing their job, or not being let back into the industry. Women need to know there’s a place they can go to get what they deserve.

Female executive in gender/pregnancy discrimination case against large investment bank:

I really valued the Firm’s confidence. It clearly comes from their experience in winning cases—they broke it down, told me the formulas, knew every detail — they knew who we were up against, knew all of the lawyers already, and weren’t afraid.

Employee in sexual orientation discrimination litigation:

Everyone I worked with at the Firm was well informed and really gave me the full picture of the scenario and made it clear they had my best interest at heart. They wanted me to make informed decisions — they earned my trust and still have it.

Corporate officer of public company in breach of contract case:

They are bulldogs who are not intimidated by anyone — they win big cases.
