An employment discrimination defense attorney represents the employer after an employee or job applicant claims bias, harassment, or retaliation. KEW Legal focuses on business law for employers in Florida. This page explains what that defense covers, which deadlines come first, and how the process usually moves from a notice to a resolution.<\/p>\n

What Employment Discrimination Defense Covers for Florida Employers<\/h2>\n

Employment discrimination defense means representing the company when someone says it treated them unfairly because of a protected trait. The attorney answers the claim, gathers the facts, and protects the business.<\/p>\n

Fla. Stat. \u00a7 760.10<\/a> makes it unlawful for an employer to discharge, refuse to hire, or otherwise discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, national origin, age, handicap, or marital status.<\/p>\n

Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 760.02<\/a>, an employer for these purposes is a person with 15 or more employees for each working day in 20 or more calendar weeks in the current or preceding calendar year. Smaller businesses may still face claims under other laws, so the headcount should be checked early.<\/p>\n

The defense matters most for owners and managers who receive an agency notice, a demand letter, or a lawsuit. Supervisors are often named too, so the company’s response must account for both the business and the individual.<\/p>\n

KEW Legal serves business owners across Miami-Dade and South Florida from offices in Coral Gables and Sunny Isles Beach.<\/p>\n\n
