Pregnancy Discrimination

Los Angeles, California, Pregnancy Discrimination Lawyers

Women often face hard decisions, but they should not have to choose between their jobs and their families. At The Rubin Law Corporation in Beverly Hills, California, we know that pregnant women often face illegal pressures and discrimination at work. We believe pregnancy discrimination should not force you out of the workplace, so we fight hard to protect your rights. We help women located in Los Angeles, Anaheim, Irvine, and other cities in Southern California.

Many circumstances experienced by pregnant women are illegal and actionable in court:

Federal and state laws prevent discrimination against women. At The Rubin Law Corporation, we provide you with skilled legal representation that takes into account the interplay between employment, disability discrimination, and pregnancy law. We can advise you about the California Family Rights Act and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. We can help you understand your rights and take action to meet your goals.

Lawyers Who Protect High-Level Female Executives from Pregnancy Discrimination

More and more high-level female executives are bringing lawsuits when their employers discriminate against them, demote, or even fire them because of their pregnancies. At The Rubin Law Corporation, we frequently work with high-level executives and have the capacity to assist them discreetly and effectively with their employment issues. For example, we recently represented an entertainment industry executive who announced her maternity leave. She had been in line for a promotion to vice president, but the company announced a "reorganization" and eliminated her position. We assisted her to launch an unlawful employment practices investigation against her supervisors and ultimately saved her position.

The law places a very short time limit to file a pregnancy discrimination charge against your company, so you should contact an attorney as soon as you think your employer discriminated against you. The law also allows you to file a charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission even if you no longer work for your employer.
