While workplaces have changed drastically in recent years, employment lawyer and WIGDOR LLP partner Valdi Licul says the issues his clients face remain much the same. “Conscientious workers trying to root out illegal activity often become targets instead of being rewarded for their courage," he says. "Extraordinarily accomplished women are still paid less and inexplicably deemed less deserving, especially when they get pregnant or have families." Licul represents whistleblowers in the financial services industry, as well as victims of age and gender discrimination, workplace sexual harassment and more: https://lnkd.in/dw5b7ekP #legalnews #lawyers #lawfirms #employmentlaw

A partner at Florida personal injury mainstay Searcy Denney Scarola Barnhart & Shipley, PA, Hill has achieved multimillion-dollar verdicts and settlements through that philosophy, along with fierce preparation and dedication to the details: https://lnkd.in/eYfam7pH #legalnews #lawyers #lawfirms
