David I. Brody, associate in the firm’s Employment Department, was quoted in the Boston Globe on employment discrimination claims in the #MeToo era. The article, “Arbitrator awards $1.6m to ex-UBS financial adviser for gender discrimination,” was published on October 28th.

From the article:

Awards for employment discrimination claims have been rising in Massachusetts in the #MeToo era, said David Brody, an employment lawyer at Sherin and Lodgen. Juries have been awarding punitive damages — to punish wrongdoers — more frequently and in higher amounts, he said, including a $3 million ruling in 2018 for a female employee of a Norwood car dealership who experienced gender discrimination and sexual harassment.
