Protecting Employees’ Rights

Patterson Harkavy has represented employees across the state in jury trials, class action lawsuits, complex multi-party litigation, on appeal, and before the North Carolina General Assembly. We have won cases on behalf of individuals in actions against private employers and state agencies, and on behalf of employee groups fighting widespread misconduct in the workplace.

Contact our Chapel Hill office for capable representation in any the following areas:

• Race Discrimination
• Sex Discrimination
• Age Discrimination
• Disability Discrimination, including failure to make reasonable accommodations
• Pregnancy Discrimination
• Sexual Harassment
• Retaliation

Victims of employment discrimination may be entitled to economic damages such as back pay, damages for emotional distress, and, in some cases, punitive damages against the employer. A lawsuit may also seek reinstatement if you were fired, advancement if you were passed over for promotion, job reassignment at equal or greater pay, or changes in company policy.
