Disparate Impact Discrimination
No Company is Too Big to Play Fair.
FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL (877) 344-4628OR CONTACT OUR CLERK ONLINE
Illegal discrimination can be unintentional. For example, a company might have policies that appear neutral on their face but have negative consequences for certain people. An employer might be hiring for a manual labor or public safety job and require all applicants to pass a physical agility test. That might seem fair on its face but, in practice, the testing requirement might negatively impact qualified female applicants. Similarly, in the housing context, a city nuisance ordinance that disincentivizes tenants from calling the police may unlawfully impact renters with disabilities or people in domestic abuse situations. This kind of discrimination is referred to as disparate impact discrimination.
If you believe that you have been negatively impacted by a policy or other
seemingly neutral requirement, please contact our Civil Rights and Impact
Litigation group. Our clerk is available at (877) 344-4628
or
online, and will be able to discuss your civil rights concerns and connect you
with one of our civil rights attorneys.
