PRACTICE AREAS
Workplace discrimination claims challenge a defendant’s business practices by alleging race, ethnic, gender, age or national origin characteristics are associated with employment decision making. Typically discrimination claims focus upon hiring, assignment, compensation, promotion, evaluation or layoff decisions – or some combination thereof. Welch economists have extensive experience analyzing data and testifying as to relevant findings in each of these areas.
Analyses of discrimination claims requires a significant understanding of the local or national labor market issues that might be relevant to the unique features of a challenged practice. As important, a considerable degree of knowledge concerning a company, its organizational framework and business practices is also required. At Welch Consulting, this depth of understanding is enhanced by our unparalleled abilities to manage and organize assorted sources of company employment data to accurately model the actual process being challenged. Our economists work extensively with the data, company personnel, and both inside and outside counsel to develop the necessary understanding of a company before embarking on analysis of the issues in question.
