Bias & Discrimination

Internal Auditing

More organizations than ever are studying their employment practices as part of legal risk assessment or benchmarking the progress of Diversity, Equity, and Initiative goals. We offer valuable data-driven insights into matters of equity and representation at all levels of an organization's workforce.

Regulatory Audits

Many employers are subject to audits and investigations regulatory agencies (e.g., Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP)). We are experienced in conducting independent review and analyses at the focus of these investigations.

Litigation

If disputes do arise, we offer objective analysis based on rigorous and court-tested statistical methods and data practices. We have experience studying these matters at all stages of litigation: from class certification to damages calculations and settlement agreements.

Wage & Hour

We work with attorneys to estimate damages associated with various wage & hour violations, including

• under/unpaid overtime,
• missed meal and rest break,
• employee misclassification,
• work off-the-clock, and
• rounding errors.
