There is often some confusion regarding what constitutes as sexual harassment in the workplace. The term sexual harassment refers to the situation when someone behaves in a way which makes you feel distressed, intimidated or offended and the behaviour is of a sexual nature.

We are currently advising and assisting a solicitor who suffered sexual harassment whilst in employment with one of the UK’s largest law firms. Our client alleges that her male colleagues sexually harassed her on a daily basis which led to her resigning from the Firm.

She is extremely disappointed that having reported her concerns to HR/management there was a distinct lack of support or protection afforded to her. Our client is claiming substantial compensation for loss of earnings as well as a separate injury to feelings award of up to £30,000.

If you think you have been subjected to sexual harassment please get in touch with our experts immediately. We will ensure that your details are kept confidential and are committed to supporting you throughout the process.
